HOT MUSHROOM AND BACON DIP

Hot Mushroom and Bacon Dip image

I picked this recipe up at a "Tupperware" party many many years ago. This is my "guilt-free" dip because I figured that having crispy crunchy raw vegetables with it cancels out the high caloried bacon, cream cheese and sour cream. ;-)

Yield Makes 4 cups

Ingredients

3 dried porcini mushrooms
1/2 cup boiling water
8 slices thick-cut bacon
1 large or 2 small leeks, white and pale-green parts only, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced crosswise, and washed well
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 pound cremini, white, or shiitake mushrooms, cleaned and chopped, plus sliced mushrooms for garnish (optional)
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
2 cups sour cream (16 ounces)
3 tablespoons sliced scallions (dark-green parts only), plus more for garnish
Easy Waffle Chips, for serving (optional)

Steps:

In a small bowl, soak porcini in the boiling water until soft, about 20 minutes. Working over the bowl, lift out porcini, and squeeze out liquid. Coarsely chop porcini. Pour liquid through a fine sieve into another bowl, and reserve.
Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Pour off rendered bacon fat, reserving 1/4 cup. Wipe skillet clean. Coarsely chop bacon.
Return 3 tablespoons bacon fat to skillet. Add leek and garlic; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add fresh mushrooms and porcini, then the salt and pepper. Raise heat to high; cook, stirring, until mushrooms are tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Add thyme; cook 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate; let cool.
With an electric mixer, whisk cream cheese in a medium bowl until smooth. Gradually add sour cream; whisk until smooth. By hand, stir in mushrooms, three-quarters of the bacon, scallions, and 2 tablespoons porcini liquid. If necessary, add more porcini liquid to reach desired consistency.
Garnish dip with scallions and remaining bacon. If desired, cook sliced mushrooms in remaining tablespoon bacon fat in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Scatter over dip. Serve with waffle chips if desired.

Tips:

Use a variety of fresh and flavorful mushrooms such as cremini, shiitake, or oyster mushrooms.
Cook the bacon until it is crispy to add a smoky and savory flavor to the dip.
For a creamy and rich dip, use a combination of cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise.
Season the dip with garlic, onion, Worcestershire sauce, and a blend of herbs and spices to enhance the flavor.
Top the dip with additional crumbled bacon, chopped chives, or grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
Serve the dip with a variety of dippers such as crackers, bread cubes, or vegetable crudités.
