Notes
Please refer to my FAQ’s and ingredient list above for other substitutions or for the answers to the most common questions.
I like to serve it with Ritz Crackers or Fritos, but it is also good with club crackers, tortilla chips, or even veggies.
To make it super easy to throw together, I used bacon bits, but you can cook your bacon first, it will take 12 ounces of cooked and crumbled bacon. It would also be amazing using very small diced ham.
Mayo can be used in place of sour cream.
Keep in the fridge for up to 5 days, freeze for up to 3 months.
