A creamy and flavorful dip featuring the bold flavors of bacon and horseradish, perfect for gatherings or as a snack.
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, then remove and crumble.
Save the rendered bacon fat for cooking the onions and garlic for added flavor.
In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic in the reserved bacon fat until softened.
Cook over medium heat to avoid burning the garlic.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, horseradish, mustard, pepper, and salt.
Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
Add the sautéed onion and garlic, crumbled bacon, and chopped parsley to the bowl and mix well.
Fold gently to maintain a creamy texture.
Refrigerate the dip for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap to prevent the dip from absorbing other fridge odors.
Serve the dip chilled or at room temperature with your choice of dippers.
Garnish with additional parsley for a fresh touch.
