Name: Bloody Mary Dip
Prep time: 15 min
Total time: 20 min
Yield: 6 - 8 serving(s)
Ingredients: 3 slices bacon; 2 tsp. Montreal steak seasoning; 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, cubed and at room temperature; 1/4 c. mayonnaise; 3 tbsp. tomato paste; 2 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce; 1/2 tsp. celery salt; 1/2 lemon, zested and juiced; 1 1/2 tsp. hot sauce; 1 1/2 tbsp. vodka (optional); 2 pimento-stuffed green cocktail olives, quartered lengthwise and stuffing chopped; Assorted pickled vegetables, crudités, crackers, and chips, for serving

Step 1In a medium skillet, arrange the bacon slices and sprinkle each with the steak seasoning. Cook over medium heat, flipping as needed, until crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate to drain; then finely chop and set aside.

Step 2In the bowl of a food processor, process the cream cheese, mayonnaise, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and celery salt until well-combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add the lemon zest and juice, hot sauce, and vodka, if using, and pulse until just combined.

Step 3Transfer the dip to a shallow serving bowl and gently fold in the bacon. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to overnight. Top with the olives and pimento stuffing and serve with your favorite pickled vegetables, crudités, crackers, or chips.
