This dip vanished (quickly) as my guests said, "this tastes JUST like a BLT!" I'll make it again, as it's incredibly easy and tasty. One suggestion to keep the dip creamy and not runny: dice your tomatoes first, and store them in the fridge on paper towels to soak up the juices. I stored the tomatoes overnight, then mixed in the tomatoes *just* before I served it. For a beautiful presentation, I served it in a "bowl" made of large iceberg lettuce leaves, and tossed about a 1/4 cup of diced tomatoes on top of the dip for color.

Very good. And no need to deal with all that frying. Just line a cookie sheet with foil and bake your bacon in the oven. 375 degrees for about 20 min. No mess or oil splatters to clean up. I did add a couple shakes of dry ranch mix and green onions. I've also used chopped chives instead of green onions - which I prefer. Let it sit overnight and added the chopped tomatoes before serving. I used 2 roma tomatoes with the seeds removed first. This will solve your problem of a runny dip. Great with plain ruffles. Optional add ons: add a few dashes of cayenne, fresh chopped dill, a few dashes of liquid smoke, 1/2 package of softened cream cheese, garnish with chopped bacon on top, chopped chives, dashes of paprika, caramelized onions, diced pimentos (from the jar). Try these, they enhance the dip very well.

I could hardly stop eating this dip. I brought it to a football party and used Ritz Air Crisps as suggested by another reviewer. Very tasty. I sprinkled the top with a few chopped tomatoes to add some more color. My fiance didn't like it though. He couldn't give a specific reason. I'm not sure if anyone else liked it as nothing was said. Despite that, I'll still make this again.
