HOT MUSHROOM AND BACON DIP

Hot Mushroom and Bacon Dip image

I picked this recipe up at a "Tupperware" party many many years ago. This is my "guilt-free" dip because I figured that having crispy crunchy raw vegetables with it cancels out the high caloried bacon, cream cheese and sour cream. ;-)

Yield Makes 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

3 dried porcini mushrooms
1/2 cup boiling water
8 slices thick-cut bacon
1 large or 2 small leeks, white and pale-green parts only, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced crosswise, and washed well
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 pound cremini, white, or shiitake mushrooms, cleaned and chopped, plus sliced mushrooms for garnish (optional)
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
2 cups sour cream (16 ounces)
3 tablespoons sliced scallions (dark-green parts only), plus more for garnish
Easy Waffle Chips, for serving (optional)

Steps:

In a small bowl, soak porcini in the boiling water until soft, about 20 minutes. Working over the bowl, lift out porcini, and squeeze out liquid. Coarsely chop porcini. Pour liquid through a fine sieve into another bowl, and reserve.
Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Pour off rendered bacon fat, reserving 1/4 cup. Wipe skillet clean. Coarsely chop bacon.
Return 3 tablespoons bacon fat to skillet. Add leek and garlic; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add fresh mushrooms and porcini, then the salt and pepper. Raise heat to high; cook, stirring, until mushrooms are tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Add thyme; cook 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate; let cool.
With an electric mixer, whisk cream cheese in a medium bowl until smooth. Gradually add sour cream; whisk until smooth. By hand, stir in mushrooms, three-quarters of the bacon, scallions, and 2 tablespoons porcini liquid. If necessary, add more porcini liquid to reach desired consistency.
Garnish dip with scallions and remaining bacon. If desired, cook sliced mushrooms in remaining tablespoon bacon fat in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Scatter over dip. Serve with waffle chips if desired.

Tips:

Use fresh mushrooms. Fresh mushrooms will give your dip the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh mushrooms, you can use dried mushrooms, but be sure to rehydrate them before using.
Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the mushrooms and bacon, be sure to give them enough space so that they can brown properly. If you overcrowd the pan, the mushrooms and bacon will steam instead of brown.
Cook the mushrooms and bacon until they are browned. This will give your dip a richer flavor.
Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this dip, so be sure to use a good quality cheese that you enjoy. A sharp cheddar cheese or a Gruyère cheese are both good choices.
Serve the dip warm. This dip is best served warm, so be sure to heat it up before serving. You can heat it up in the microwave or in a saucepan over low heat.

Conclusion:

Mushroom and bacon dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is creamy, cheesy, and packed with flavor. This dip is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
