Bacon Tomato Dip

Ingredients
6 ounces uncooked bacon about 6 slices
3 medium tomatoes equal 2 cups chopped
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream

Instructions
If you start with a 12 ounce package of bacon, cut it in half crosswise so you have 6 ounces of bacon or just remove 6 slices of bacon. Keep the bacon stacked together and slice the bacon crosswise into 1/2-inch thick pieces. No need to separate the pieces yet.
Place the bacon in a cold skillet and turn the heat to medium. Cook the bacon, stirring occasionally to break up the bacon about 6 minutes or until the bacon is browned and crisp. The bacon separates easily as it warms up in the skillet.
Drain the bacon on paper towels and let cool.
While bacon cooks (don’t forget to stir occasionally), slice the tomatoes in half crosswise/horizontally. Gently squeeze the tomato pulp and seeds into a small bowl. (Save this to make a fresh tomato vinaigrette-see my tip on the post). Chop the tomatoes and place in a medium size bowl.
Add the cooked bacon, mayonnaise, and sour cream and stir until combined. At this point, you can add a little salt and pepper if you like but it’s pretty salty already. Serve with corn chip scoops or tortilla chips.

Notes
For an over-the-top BLT sammich, spread Bacon Tomato Dip between two slices of bread and add a slice or two of crisp lettuce.
