Amish BLT Dip

Jump to Recipe

So, what might you find on an Amish table on New Year's Eve? Homemade cheese balls, plates of crackers, dips (like this Amish BLT Dip!), cookies, and snacks, just an amazing assortment of goodies will grace the average Amish table as the New Year ticks closer.

I've written before about an elderly Amish man that I knew in the Berne, Indiana community who would stand on his porch at midnight and blow on a big conch shell that made a bugling sound that echoed across the countryside. Then the kerosene lanterns are quickly extinguished and everyone hustles off to bed. After all, the cows will still need milking in the morning!

So, lets get to one of the more popular recipes....who doesn't like a good BLT? Well, you can get all the flavor of a BLT in a dip, spread it on some crackers and you have a deconstructed BLT of sorts. Well, maybe we should call it BOT dip, because there is onion, there's no lettuce. But when it is all done it does kind of taste like a BLT. And this is the best BLT dip recipe I have found.

Most Amish dips like this are very simple, yet very flavorful.

Most Amish making this dip would be using home-cured bacon, sometimes their own homemade mayo,and on and on...so think freshness when you make this! Make sure you measure out each ingredient ahead of time and put in a little dish, makes it easier to combine the mixture.

A dip like this pairs well with crackers or even little slices of bread. A sliced baguette would be perfect for this.

The dip can be put into a bowl and surrounded with crackers for easy serving. I know there aren't many large NYE gatherings this year, so you can always just file this recipe away for another time!

You can add your own touches. Stir in some cream cheese if you want a thicker, richer dip. Cream cheese will add to the creaminess. This creamy dip goes great with bread, but also pita chips, shredded tortilla pieces, or tortilla chips. You could spread some on an actual BLT sandwich! Pat the bacon with a paper towel when you are done to remove some of the grease. A hint of garlic powder is also a nice addition and maybe some diced celery.

Don't worry about the protein, sodium, calories, cholesterol, or carbohydrates on NYE. Just make this dip and wow your friends with it by posting on Instragram, Pinterest, or Facebook.
