Equipment

Ingredients

For the Mix in the Jar:

To Prepare the Dip:

  • 1 Cup sour cream

Instructions

Prepare the Dried Mix:

  • In your jar, mix all the listed ingredients except the bacon bits.
  • Top with the bacon bits.
  • Close the jar, punch a hole in the label, and thread the twine through the hole.
  • Tie a bow in the twine and adjust the label to where you want it.

To Make the Dip:

  • Ready to make the dip? Stir a tablespoon of the dip mix and a sprinkle of the bacon bits into 1 cup of sour cream.
  • Let the dip sit in the fridge for at least an hour to allow the minced onions and garlic to soften.
  • Enjoy with pretzels, potato chips, bread, or vegetables for dipping.

Notes

Bolder taste: If you want a stronger flavor, add another tablespoon of the dip mix to the cup of sour cream. Adjust as you go to get the desired strength of flavor.
Servings: The servings for the jar depend on how much dip mix is used. The jar will contain 3 to 5 servings of the dip mix for each cup of sour cream.
Stick to dried ingredients: Choose dried bacon bits instead of ones with lots of moisture (to help prolong the shelf life) and use dried garlic and onion not fresh.
Using fresh ingredients: If you want to make your own bacon bits (fry bacon, drain on a paper towel lined plate and crumble) and/or fresh minced garlic, omit the bacon bits and garlic from the jar mix recipe and instead add fresh when you're adding the sour cream.
