This easy Layered BLT Dip is a must for your next get together. Imagine the American classic BLT sandwich with a side of chips, but better. Use your favorite sides to scoop a BLT style dip!
A Classic BLT
Do you know what a BLT is?
A BLT is a classic American sandwich with bacon, lettuce, and tomato. It’s usually a sandwich with mayo but everyone has their own ways of having it.
Just as it sounds, it is a pretty basic sandwich but the combination of the textures and flavors pull it all together well.
This dip plays off the idea of a BLT but of course I needed to add cheese because… cheese.
Also, I swapped the mayo for a mixture of sour cream and cream cheese. This combination still gives the same creamy addition as mayo but it is much more palatable for being a base.
If you decide to opt to aligning with the original style of a BLT closer than I did then be sure to let me know how it turns out in the comments below. I am very curious!

What To Pair With Your Layered BLT Dip
Make Layered BLT Dip as the star and surround it with anything you love! Because a classic crinkle chip pairs perfectly with a BLT I thought it was only fitting to use them for dipping.
If you don’t want to use a potato chip for dipping some other ideas are tortilla chips, naan dippers, baguette, or some crostini! Any or all of these would hold up well to this hefty dip.
You can even go a lighter route and pair it with some veggies. Crinkle cut carrot chips would make dipping fun!
