Dipping Suggestions
This dip is so delicious you could eat it by the spoonful, but if you are looking to be more- ahem- civilized you could serve it with:
- carrot and celery sticks
- cucumber slices
- pita chips
- tortilla chips
- potato chips
- pretzels
You could even spread it on a sandwich in place of mayo!
Storing Leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Keep in mind the bacon will lose some of its crispiness the longer it sits in the dip in the fridge.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes!
Ideally you should make this dip 3 to 4 hours prior to serving so it has a chance to sit in the fridge and thicken up.
You could even make it a full day in advance.
However if you go that route, you may want to wait to stir in the bacon until just prior to serving so the bacon stays crispy.
Tips and Tricks
- Don’t skip the chilling time! This is what lets the dip thicken so it doesn’t slide right off your dippers.
- You can adjust the amount of horseradish depending on how much zip you want the dip to have.
- The garnish is optional but makes a very pretty presentation.

This looks amazing, and just in time for tailgating!
Which pepper have you used?
ground black pepper 🙂
Black pepper will really add kick to the Dip. I would love to pair fried chicken with this 😛
Yum!
Well, you had me at bacon 😉 I love a good dip and will have to give this a try soon!
Thanks for sharing on #WhateverWednesday
Isn’t bacon wonderful?!
Wow, Meaghan – this sounds amazing!! And perfect for Fiesta Friday too! Love the addition of horseradish – brilliant!
I bet this is just full of flavor! I’m pinning it for the next football party.
Delicious!!!! So much better than store bought and easy to make!!! We did add a little more horseradish than what your recipe called for but we really like horseradish lol.
I L.O.V.E. horseradish! And bacon 🙂
Mmmm I bet this would go great on a roast beef sandwich!
Oh, that’s a wonderful idea! We make a sour cream horseradish sauce that we serve with roast beef/steak, but it never occurred to me to try using the dip instead. I see great things ahead…
Hehe 🙂
I love dips! Can I skip the bacon in this dip and still make it?
I don’t see why not. It should still be delicious. Just taste test and adjust the spices accordingly 🙂
It looks delicious! Thank you for sharing this with us at Fiesta Friday!

Thanks, Ginger!
Do you use creamy horseradish?
I used plain prepared horseradish, just the grated root stored in some vinegar. However, if the creamy version is what you have on hand or what you can find- you can absolutely use that. It just won’t have as much bite in the same amount called for. Taste it after incorporating, and if the dip isn’t tangy enough for you add just a tiny bit more.
Delicious! I left out the salt. Best dip ever!
Tastes awesome- thanks for sharing!!!
