Bacon and horseradish dip adds that savory bite we are all looking for in a dip or appetizer spread for crackers, pretzels, and chips.
Savory Bacon and Horseradish Dip
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
Bacon and Horseradish dip is a longtime family favorite here at Palatable. I even make a number of versions of it, and have posted more than one. It’s all very easy to mix up in a food processor to get the cheese and sour cream very smooth.
The dip is very “dippable” at room temperature (which is great for ripple chips) but thickens to a cracker spreading consistency when chilled, so prepare it for your preference.
For the yield, this makes three cups which may seem like a lot but it is much like two store bought tubs, and it goes really fast, especially if you serve it at a game-day gathering around the big screen.
Savory Bacon and Horseradish Dip
Yield: 3 cups
Ingredients:
- 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 tablespoon canola oil or 1 tablespoon bacon fat
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
- 1 1/4 teaspoons stone ground mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Method:
- Cook onion and garlic in 1 tablespoon bacon fat from bacon, or use oil; cook over medium heat until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
- Place onion mixture in bowl; add bacon.
- Stir in cream cheese, sour cream, horseradish, mustard, pepper, and salt; mix well until blended.
- Refrigerate at least 2 hours to allow flavors to blend.
- Serve chilled or at room temperature (dip spreads easily at room temp., but be careful not to allow spoilage).

Bacon AND horseradish AND garlic, winning combination for me! Can’t wait to make this soon! Thanks for sharing at Recipe Roundup!
What a fabulous looking dip and the combination of flavors sounds spectacular too! This would be a perfect starter for our holiday party!
Thanks! I like it for Sunday Football face stuffing.
This is a dip my Dad would have loved! He loved horseradish. Luckily both my son and I inherited that taste so I know we would love this too.
Sue, this sounds delicious. I may have to bring it to our Christmas Eve family gathering…. I can’t be trusted with it in my house.
I may just have to make this for no reason at all this holiday season! You know…maybe just a Monday night snack or a Thursday night I’ve got nothing better to do! Sounds amazing!
Make sure you have some for game night. It goes fast!
Love bacon and horseradish! This looks perfect for a party!
