Smoked BLT Dip Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 8 oz Cream Cheese

  start with very cold cream cheese
• 8 slices Bacon
• 1 cup Sour Cream
• 2 tbsp Mayo
• 1 cup Mozzarella

  shredded
• 2 tsp Italian Seasoning
• 1 tsp Garlic Powder
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tsp Black Pepper
• 1 cup Tomatoes

  diced small, seeds removed
• 6 Green Onions

  sliced small
• 2 cups Romaine Lettuce

  finely shredded

Instructions

• 1 Preheat the smoker to 225 F.
• 2 Remove the cold cream cheese from the wrapper and lightly score the top in a
  cross hatch pattern. Place it onto a foil pan or in cast iron skillet.
• 3 Prepare the bacon by placing the slices onto a wire rack over a foil pan (to
  catch the drippings).
• 4 Add the cream cheese and the bacon to the smoker and smoke for about 2-2.5 hours
  or until the bacon is cooked to your liking and the cream cheese has taken on a
  smoky golden color and forms a skin.
• 5 Remove both and let them cool to room temperature.
• 6 To a bowl, add the cooled cream cheese, sour cream, mayo, and shredded cheese.
• 7 Add in the garlic powder, salt, pepper, and the Italian seasoning.
• 8 Prepare the diced tomatoes, green onion, and lettuce. Additionally, chop or
  crumble the smoked bacon. Reserve a few tablespoons of each for garnishing at
  the end if desired.
• 9 Fold in the tomatoes, green onion, bacon and lettuce. Mix well until full
  combine and place the dip in the desired serving bowl.
• 10 Garnish with the reserved toppings and serve with grilled or toasted french
  bread (perfect for the full BLT effect). It also pairs great with potato chips,
  pretzels, and crackers too.
