Grab your favorite chips and dig into the best Bacon Horseradish Dip. You need just 5 ingredients to whip up this sour cream and mayo spread. Perfect for game day, movie night, holiday snacking.
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until brown and crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Chop or crumble into small pieces.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper. Stir to combine. Fold in chopped bacon, reserving some for topping.
Refrigerate 2-4 hours to allow the flavors to blend. Garnish with reserved bacon and chopped scallions or chives.
Notes
Cut the bacon into 1-inch pieces before cooking. The bacon will cook faster and be easier to chop into small pieces.
Adjust the amount of horseradish to fit your tastes. If you don't like a strong horseradish flavor, start by adding 2 tablespoons and add more as needed.
Drain or squeeze the excess liquid from the horseradish. Some brands contain more vinegar than others.
This dip keeps well for 7-10 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Omit the bacon and use this dip as a sauce for prime rib. Alternatively, add in cooked clams or shrimp for a seafood version.
