Don't overcook the bacon. Crispy bacon is best for this dip. Cook it until it is just cooked through, but not crispy.
Use fresh garlic. Fresh garlic will give the dip the best flavor. If you don't have fresh garlic, you can use 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder.
Let the dip chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the dip with your favorite dippers. Some good options include crackers, bread, vegetables, and chips.
