  • If you don't have any bacon on hand, you can substitute cooked ground beef or sausage.
  • Be sure to chop the green onions and celery very finely so that they distribute evenly throughout the dip.
  • If you want a creamier dip, you can add an extra 1/2 cup of sour cream.
  • Serve the dip with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetables for dipping.
