Ingredients:

  • tomato dip with chips recipe2  medium tomatoes, Ontario greenhouse or firm field tomatoes
  • 1  250 g package of softened cream cheese
  • 1 cup/250mL  Miracle Whip salad dressing
  • 3/4 cup/188mL  real bacon bits

Instructions:

  1. Remove seeds and juice from tomatoes; dice them up (1/2” or 1.5 cm).
  2. Put all ingredients in a big bowl. Combine well by stirring and refrigerate overnight.
  3. Serve with Fritos, beer bread or your favourite firm textured cracker/chip.

Tips:

  • This recipe is easily doubled; use 3 large tomatoes (approx. 10 cm/3-4 inch), an entire small 475 mL jar of Miracle Whip, 1-1/2 cups of bacon bits, while simply adding another package of cream cheese. Enjoy one and share the other!
  • You can also use mayonnaise but the dip will not have such a tangy zip.  Be sure to use the bacon bits, not the bacon pieces. This is delicious dip that is often requested; lower calorie options by using light cream cheese and Miracle Whip.
