Bacon Guacamole
Bacon is awesome. You get no argument from me there. Â I love it on everything, and all by itself. Â When I cook bacon for a recipe, I have to make triple double the recipe calls for – you know for snacking purposes. Â To not snack on bacon when you’re cooking it would be a sin.
And when I say I love it on everything, that’s no exaggeration. On pork chops, in cheese dip, stuffed inside waffles, or atop a pastry…. I’m all over it. Everything is better with bacon.
Speaking of things I like bacon on… You remember these Bacon Guacamole Grilled Cheese Sandwiches?
If not – you need to go check them out because they are ah-mazing. Â Well that recipe is what inspired this new bacon topped deliciousness.
Bacon guacamole.Â
Yes, that’s what I said. Â Guacamole just got even better.
How did we never think of this one before? Â Now that it’s in my life, you can be sure it’s going to be a regular visitor to the dinner table… and a new accompanyment to my Super Nachos.
You will find yourself not being able to stop snacking on this. Â It’s the perfect guacamole and your tortilla chips new best friend. I’ve never had a guacamole better than this one – I told you bacon makes everything better.
Here’s what you need:
Well – most of it.  I forgot to add the onions & cumin to the photograph.  They were hiding, and not feeling very photogenic that day.  You can understand that feeling, right? 😉
The prep for this is so, so simple. Â You literally take everything and dump it into a bowl – and stir it all up. Â Mashed up avocado, a diced onion, a couple cloves of minced garlic, 1-2 diced roma tomatoes, 1-2 diced jalapenos, half a bunch of chopped cilantro, a pinch of ground cumin, 4 slices of chopped bacon, – and a little salt & pepper to taste. Â You can add the juice of a lime too if you want.
Guacamole is not my favorite thing to photograph by the way.  But, it is my favorite thing to dip my chips in. 😀
To keep the bacon guacamole from browning, take the avocado pit and stick it in the middle of your dip. Â It has super magical powers (or something like that) and will keep it all pretty.
Crumble up the last 2 slices of crispy bacon & sprinkle on top for the final touch.
Oh yeah. Â Time to dig in.
