Bacon Wrapped Asparagus Ranch Dip

Ingredients

  • 2 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 ½ cups small diced asparagus
  • 1 packet powdered ranch dip
  • 16 ounces sour cream
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • Dippers: tomatoes, cucumber, carrot sticks, asparagus

Directions

  • Step 1:

    Cook bacon over medium heat until slightly crisp. Remove and let drain on a paper towel. Chop into smaller pieces.

  • Step 2:

    Pour off all but 2 Tbsp of bacon grease. Add the garlic and asparagus and heat over medium heat until the asparagus has softened, about 5 – 7 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.

  • Step 3:

    In a large bowl, mix together the ranch dip packet and sour cream.

  • Step 4:

    Once thoroughly combined, add the asparagus and garlic mixture, lemon juice and chopped bacon and stir well.

  • Step 5:

    Refrigerate at least for one hour before serving, but it tastes best when allowed to sit overnight in the refrigerator.

  • Step 6:

    Serve with your favorite dipper.
