THE BLT DIP

My family and friends love this simple dip. I cannot go to a gathering, event or party without someone asking me if I brought THE BLT dip...a crowd pleaser! Have your guests dip the toast triangles in the dip and wait for the ooh's and ahh's. The toast is what makes this recipe a genuine BLT impersonator!
  1. 1 pound bacon 
  2. 1 tomato, chopped 
  3. 1 cup arugula
  4. 1 (32 ounce) jar mayonnaise 
  5. 32 ounces sour cream 
  6. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 
  7. salt and pepper to taste
  8. 1 (1 pound) loaf sliced white sandwich bread 
1. Bake an entire pound of bacon until crisp (see recipe for Baking Bacon on blog).
2.For best results, finely chop bacon in a food processor or with a hand blender, but finely chopping by hand will also work.

3.In a large mixing bowl, blend bacon, tomato and jar of mayonnaise. Add half the container of sour cream, blend well. Add more sour cream by spoonfuls, until the mixture isn't overwhelmed by the taste of mayonnaise (you'll be left with about a cup or so of sour cream, typically). LIGHTLY coat the top of the mix with garlic powder, and blend. Add a dash of salt and pepper to taste. Toast the bread, then cut into fours.

NOTE:  This is also good spread over top of a pre-baked pizza shell.   A bit easier to serve & just a little twist on a classic.
