List of Ingredients



• 8 slices bacon
  
• 6 ounces cream cheese
  
• 1/2 cup sour cream
  
• 1/4 cup plus 1 Tbsp chopped fresh chives

Instructions



1. Preheat the oven to 350° F.
   
   
2. Arrange the bacon in a layer on a broiler rack set over the broiler pan. Bake until crisp and brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and drain on paper towels. When cool enough to handle, crumble or chop into small pieces.
   
   
3. In a bowl, cream together the remaining ingredients. Add the crumbled bacon and mix. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
