Bacon Spinach Dip Recipe – Low Carb, Keto, Gluten-Free, Grain-Free, THM S
Since this spinach dip is low carb I have no guilt eating this deliciousness at parties and barbecues. Or just for lunch. I can’t say the same about my mom’s vegetable soup packet spinach dip in a pumpernickel bread bowl.
How to make Bacon Spinach Dip
Cook up some bacon and then mix it into a creamy combo of cream cheese, mayo, and sour cream. Add the spinach and cheese. Top and bake!
Bacon Spinach Dip Recipe Ingredients:

garlic powder
grated parmesan cheese
frozen spinach, thawed and drained well
shredded mozzarella
Substitutions for ingredients in Bacon Spinach Dip
You can sub in any type of shredded cheese in this recipe.
You can also sub in broccoli or cauliflower for the spinach – both are delicious! Or add chicken to make a hearty main course.
Also, if you are an artichoke fan feel free to add some for a Bacon Caesar Spinach Artichoke Dip. Now that is a mouthful of goodness. I do like spinach artichoke dip sometimes but I wasn’t feeling the artichokes today. I may add some next time.
Can I microwave this dip instead of baking?
Yes, you can microwave the dip for about 5 minutes. The only downside to microwaving is the cheese doesn’t get golden on top. But on a hot summer day that is a sacrifice, I am willing to make.

This looks amazing Taryn I can’t wait to try it… I don’t hear Stop and Shop mentioned much by people. Are you in New England?
Taryn says
I’m in New Jersey 😀

Made this for Super Bowl & it was great!
Cyndee Metcalf says
I’m guessing the sour cream is added at the same time as the mayo, cream cheese, etc?
Taryn says
Yes. I’ll clarify the instructions. Enjoy!
Kathy says

This sounds so good, although, I’m not sure why you call it Caesar, as there are no anchovies, eggs, lemon or croutons involved! Haha, ANYWAY, could I make this ahead and freeze it? Also, I’d like to serve it in a little crockpot, so it stays warm throughout the party. Would that work? Thanks! 🙂
Taryn says
The base is basically my caesar dressing. The garlic and parmesan cheese give it a caesar flavor.
Yes, I’ve frozen after baking it in lunch sized portions.
Yes, it should work to serve from the crock pot.
Enjoy!
