I am a huge dip person. If I can dip it, I will eat it. I think this Cowboy Dip brings a whole new burst of flavor and texture to food.

Between dip and sauces, I am probably consuming more calories, than the actual food I am eating, but hey, it’s a holiday and I plan to celebrate it the right way.

If you are anything like me, vegetables can be a little hard to eat down, but all you need is a little Cowboy Dip and you won’t be able to stop eating them.

This dip as so much flavor, and the most amazing texture. It has the slightest flavor of bacon, and I can’t get enough of it. I promise you are going to love this recipe.

Make this Cowboy Dip recipe more calorie friendly:

This dip, is full of delicious flavor, but it isn’t what I would call calorie friendly. If you are looking to make this dip a little more nutritious, here is what I recommend:

Replace the sour cream with plain Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt and sour cream taste almost the exact same to me.
I have started replacing all my sour cream recipes with Greek yogurt, and they are just as delicious, and half the calories.
Use turkey bacon instead of bacon bits or crumbles: I don’t know if you have ever tried turkey bacon, but I personally love it.
It has a different taste, but it is a delicious taste. I now prefer turkey bacon, over regular bacon. I know, I can’t believe it either, but it’s true.
Take out the cheese: I love the cheese in this recipe, but you could easily take it out, or add less.
You could also use fresh shaved parmesan cheese, and use less of it, if you are looking for a replacement.

Questions & Reviews

Stacy Godfrey says:

Horseradish or hourseradish sauce? Because 3 tsp. of straight horseradish would be very powerful!😬😳

Cyd says:

We used Horseradish sauce. There is a picture on the post with all of the ingredients we used.

Erin B. says:

Made this using prepared horseradish (not sauce) and subbed a 3 oz. bag of bacon bits (instead of crumbled cooked bacon). Absolutely heavenly on Day Two with celery sticks and pita chips! The bacon flavor really came through (vs. Day One). For sure a keeper!

Christine @ myblissfulmess says:

This dip is AMAZING! It's so easy to make and is so yummy served with raw veggies. I served it with baby carrots, celery sticks and bell pepper strips. It did not last long, people couldn't leave it alone! I made it using light sour cream, real bacon pieces (for convenience) and reduced fat cheese to make it healthier. Obviously no one knew the difference.

Cyd says:

Hi Christine. We are so glad you liked the Cowboy dip from Six Sisters. We love the changes you made for your tastes and to save a few calories!!

Donna Marie Rogers says:

I'm curious if there is a way to use both cream cheese and sour cream to make this a little thicker? Thank you.

Cyd says:

I'm sure you could substitute some cream cheese for some of the sour cream to thicken this dip. It will alter the taste from the original recipe with the added cream cheese.

Jody Campbell says:

I think this recipe is wonderful. I see it servers 8. And it is 199 per serving. But i may be confused, but i can't find the serving portion. Thank you for sharing.

Michell says:

My whole family, and every other person who comes in contact with this dip just absolutely loves it! I have made this several times, for several occasions in the past couple of months. There is never any left. Even when I make double the servings of people. Lol. I personally love the versatility. Such as using peppered bacon, or chives instead of green onions, maybe switching up the cheese. I have done all of those here and there, still giving it the same delicious flavor, just having fun with the ingredients. We haven’t found a dipping item that doesn’t go well with it yet. Lol. We have served all types of veggies, (cauliflower is my personal fav) gf crackers of all types, and even toasted gf sourdough bread. This will be a recipe that will be passed down through the family for years to come. Thank you so much for putting this out there to find. 🤤🙏🏼🫶🏻

I bet this would be quite good on a baked potato too!
