Perfect Party Dip!
- You can’t go wrong with this BLT dip recipe! It’s quick and easy and made with ingredients likely already on hand!
- Creamy BLT dip is a deliciously low-carb addition to a game-day party at home or a fancy invite out!
- Make up to two days in advance and let the layers of flavor blend!
Ingredients and Variations
Seasoned Cream Cheese – Softened cream cheese blends faster and easier so set it out while cooking the bacon and assembling the other ingredients.
Cheese – Mozzarella and parm are perfect partners in this recipe, but shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack, or some tangy feta and blue cheese crumbles will add new flavors to BLT dip!
Bacon – Make batches of bacon and keep on hand for other recipes. Need more time? Use pre-cooked bacon or bacon bits.
Lettuce – Crunchy Iceberg and Romaine are the best greens for this recipe. Use a box grater to chop lettuce in seconds! Or use a bag of pre-shredded, if desired.
Tomatoes – Cherry tomatoes and Romas have thin skins and are meatier to keep this dip from getting too soggy.
Variations – Take the tangy flavors to the next level and stir ranch, taco, or chili seasoning into the cream cheese in Step 2. Blend in some finely chopped broccoli, shredded zucchini, or carrots to increase the nutritional value, if desired.

Serving BLT Dip!
Crackers, crostini, chunks of French bread or garlic toast and breadsticks are perfect scoops for creamy BLT dip!
In keeping with the low-carb theme, serve creamy BLT dip surrounded by slices of cucumber and zucchini, celery sticks, and fresh bite-sized broccoli and cauliflower florets. Why not add onion dip, bacon cheeseburger meatballs and cheesy pizza dip or crab dip to the platter too.

I need to know if this recipe can be served cold? I have a work potluck and we don’t have an oven at work. So I was going to cook it tonight and bring it tomorrow.
Or, have you ever made it in a crockpot?
I’ve only made this recipe as written, but I think a crockpot would work to heat it up. Let us know if you try it! And leftovers (if there are any) are delicious, so it can be served cold (once cooked).
The dip sounds great but, I had a question….Is this1 or 2 packages of cream cheese? The first line of ingredients was a little confusing. Thank you.
Yes, it is 2 packages. I’ve updated so hopefully it is more clear.
Can you serve this recipe cold? I am going to a tail gate party which is 2 1/2 hours from. Just might be a problem if not.
Thank you Barb
I’m confused….is that 2-8 Oz cream cheeses??
Yes, it is 2 packages.
Looks yummy! 2 packages of 8 oz cream cheese or just one? The 2, room temp is throwing me off just want to be sure 🙂
Yes, it is 2 packages. I’ve updated so hopefully it is more clear.
yum
Does it call for 2 pkgs of cream cheese?
Yes, it is 2 packages.
I made this today and it is absolutely delicious. I will be making this again. Taking it to share with friends tomorrow. Can’t wait until our next family get together so I can make it for them.
