There is no way that you should use the massive amount of mayo and sour cream! However, this recipe is basically good because the addition of garlic powder and pepper is brilliant (careful with salt - think of all that bacon!) I made it with 1 cup mayo, 1 cup lite sour cream and 1/2 cup softened, reduced fat cream cheese (neufschatel)to make it a little "stiffer." I mixed those three ingredients and sprinkled garlic powder and pepper across the top and mixed well. I didn't mix the solids into it ahead because I knew the bacon would get mushy and the tomatoes might water the dip. I also seeded the tomatoes. I mixed everything and spread it on a flat, round tray and sprinkled some shredded iceburg on the top. I used lightly salted pita points to serve. Toast points would be yummy, but lots of work and not necessary. Bagel "chips" would be good too.

As written this recipe quantities are out of whack. I did as another reviewer suggested and only used 1 cup of mayo & about 2 cups of sour cream. Along with the tomato and pound of bacon I added minced onion instead of garlic powder. I had no leftovers.

Adding a packet of Hidden Valley Ranch really fills out the flavor of this dip

Awesome idea! I modify this recipe by adding a little shredded Tex Mex and cream cheese; while cutting back on the mayo. Mmmmm...good stuff!

I was so excited to make this for a church gathering, but when I tasted it I was disappointed. It had too much of the mayo and sour cream and not enough of the other flavors. It also made a lot, and I had so much left that I had to throw it away.

I made this recipe for a party and it was a big hit among the people who like mayo. I made only 1/2 a recipe with a full pound of bacon. I thought it needed a little spicing up so I added about 1/2 a packet of ranch dip mix, some onion powder, salt and pepper and about 3 green onions (also the onions sprinkled on top made the dish more colorful) I also changed the recipe to be equal parts mayo and sour cream. I served it with cut up bread but the leftovers were good w/ anything from crackers and chips to spread on plain white bread. I will make this recipe again for sure, although next time I am going to spice it up even a bit more

Following other readers' directions for 1 cup each of mayonaisse and sour cream made this a hit at our Christmas party and guests loved it! I put it in a large bread bowl using the bread plus assorted crackers and vegetables for dipping. Leftovers are FABULOUS on a turkey sandwich, in lieu of mayo.

I just can't seriously believe the submitter of this recipe meant 4 cups mayonnaise, plus 2-3 cups sour cream. Something must have gotten changed before the recipe was posted.

This is a great dip, however I made a few modifications the second time I made it. The original dip had too much mayo, it also yielded too much dip overall and the ratio of bacon was off. So I used 1 cup of mayo, 2 cups of sour cream, 1 lb of bacon, 1/4 tsp of garlic powder, 1 tomato, and salt and pepper to taste. For dipping I put out a fresh loaf of sourdough bread cut up in chunks. It was a huge hit!

REAL GOOD DIP EVERYONE AT THE PARTY LOVED IT!

I think the measurments are way off on this one. Too much mayo and sourcream and not enough of the tomato and bacon. I cut this back to a cup of each and then added the rest of the ingredients as listed. Served this in a hollowed out bread bowl and toasted the the soft bread pieces. To keep the bacon crispy I added it just before serving, however, I made the dip the night before in order for the flavors to engage. With a few modifications it was gobbled up at our party. Thank you Christine!

Awesome!! We will be using this at many family gatherings!

Absolutely fabulous!! The family asks for this at every family gathering now! Thanks for the great recipe, wouldn't change a thing.

Very good only if you let it blend for a few hours in the fridge first. I didn't change a thing and am very pleased with the results.

This is similar to another recipe on this site (blt dip) and the results are pretty much the same, although I liked the garlic powder addition. I again used "real bacon bits" (oscar mayer) and added some Tastefully Simple Bacon Bacon. For those who had a problem with the dip tasting like mayo, it really should be refrigerated for a few hours before serving, or even tasting it, as the flavors really need to meld. Thanks Christine!

I normally don't cook simple foods such as this, but this is definitely a crowd pleaser for guests that don't care for sophisticated fare. For a Christmas party with children I used a cookie cutter to make festive toast shapes (cut BEFORE) you toast) and lightly toasted in the oven for three minutes each side at 375 degrees, on a grill rack. I agree with another cook, I doubled the bacon for a more intense BLT flavor.

This recipe sounded so good, but I was disappointed. It tasted like I was eating straight mayonnaise. However, I think if you cut the amount of both the mayonnaise and sour cream in half, it would be good. I like the idea enough that I'll definitely try it again...just with less mayonnaise & sour cream and probably a bit more tomato & bacon.

I've made this recipe 3 times and it's always a big hit with everyone! It's also great served in a bread bowl instead of with the toast!

There was way too much Mayo and Sour Cream in this recipe. I had to cook more bacon and add to recipe just so it would tast like a BLT. That took extra time. I won't make this specific recipe again.
