Useful Information

  • Ingredient Tips: Opt for full-fat dairy products and mayonnaise made with avocado oil to keep this dip rich and creamy while remaining low in carbs. You can customize the flavors by adding diced jalapeños for a spicy kick or a dash of hot sauce.
  • Storage: Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir well before serving again to recombine any separated oils.
  • Variations: Experiment with different cheeses such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack for varied flavors. For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and add diced olives or sun-dried tomatoes for added texture.
