How to Make Avocado And Bacon Dip

1. Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside; crumble when cool.
2. Reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon grease in the skillet.
3. Halve avocados and remove pits.
4. Scoop avocado flesh into the skillet, cut-side down. Add the chopped onion.
5. Cook avocados for 5-6 minutes per side, until lightly browned and onion is tender, occasionally spooning bacon grease over the avocados.
6. Remove avocados and onion from skillet and place in a medium bowl.
7. Add lemon juice, crumbled bacon, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to the bowl.
8. Mash the mixture with a fork until it reaches your desired consistency. You can leave some chunks for texture.
9. Stir in chopped tomato and sour cream.
10. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
11. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. (Even better the next day!)
