Lemony Bacon-Artichoke Dip image

A recipe from my most recent "Taste of Home" magazine by Heidi Jobe, Carrollton, Georgia. "Move over, spinach-artichoke dip. Bacon adds an extra layer of smokiness to this fabulous recipe. And you might want to double it-we never any leftovers."

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 slice thick-sliced bacon strips, chopped
14 oz can of water-packed quartered artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 pkg 8 ounce reduced-fat cream cheese
1/3 c sour cream
1/2 tsp onion salt
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice (bottled lemon juice just won't taste as good)
1/2 c grated parmesan cheese
toasted pita bread wedges, tortilla chips, veggies etc for serving

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400°. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Discard drippings, reserving 2 teaspoons in pan. Add artichoke hearts and garlic to drippings; cook and stir 1 minute.
  • 2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, sour cream, onion salt, salt and pepper until smooth. Beat in lemon juice. Fold in artichoke mixture and half of the bacon.
  • 3. Transfer to a greased 2-qt. baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining bacon; top with Parmesan cheese. Bake, uncovered, 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with pita wedges.

I found this dip to be a bit bland. It needed more seasoning.

This dip was a bit too lemony for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, it was a good dip.

I've tried many artichoke dip recipes, but this one is by far the best. The lemon adds a refreshing brightness that perfectly complements the richness of the bacon and artichoke.
