I already have a few hot melted cheese dips planned for the upcoming Super Bowl party but I also want to include something a little on the healthier side and guacamole is perfect party food! The basic guacamole is pretty darn irresistible but I cannot help but tinker with it by adding different things with an example being the blue cheese guacamole that I made not too long ago. This time however I was thinking about a bacon guacamole; if bacon and avocado go great together in sandwiches, and they do, then why not add bacon to guacamole?
This recipe for bacon guacamole is pretty much the recipe for guacamole with crispy crumbled bacon added but I made one other small change by increasing the amount of tomato as tomato and bacon are also a great flavour combo. I have to say that bacon guyacamole is by far my favourite version of guacamole so far and it will make a welcome addition on the day of the big game! (Is there anything that bacon does not go with?)
Just look at those beautiful green avocados!
I am sure that a bacon and blue cheese guacamole would also be amazing!

I didn't think guacamole could get any better. I was sooooo wrong.
Genius!
Wow. Will definitely try this.
Thanks for all your recipes – especially the ones involving cheese and bacon… 2 of my favourite things!
Nice thinking, i would never put them together 🙂
Wow,it's perfect for Super Bowl party!! I'll definitely give it a try. We used to have Rob Feenie's Feenie Weenie.
Looking forward to your cheese dip recipes – we don't have Velveeta or anything similar that melts the same way in Denmark, but I just found a recipe for homemade Velveeta today and made some myself, so I hope it will come in handy for your melted cheese thing!
The guacamole looks great, by the way – as all your recipes do – I just love your pictures 🙂
This guacamole is so beautiful!
Sounds ymmy too!
What a creative way to make guacamole. Looks delicious.

This looks so good. I had heard of bacon guac but now I am even more motivated to try it!
Bacon Guacamole. That's kind of cheating isn't it? It's kind of like naming a post "Free beer, money and hot ladies" isn't it? looks delicious, Kevin, ha ha.
This combo is three of my favorite flavors mixed together. Excellent.
Guacamole is the perfect party food Kevin and on the lighter side.
i'd eat that whole bowl.
no problem. 🙂
Looks vdelicios, the recipe sounds more like something called "Pico de Gallo".
Holy guacamole! Avocado never had appealed this much to me before. Your pictures are so inviting =)
this looks so good! i love bacon so much.
How has this never crossed my mind?!? Brilliant.
haha I think you've just amped up what was already a crowd favorite to undeniable extremes!
Simple and appealing!
♥ MMMMhhhhhh, it seems good!! I can try to prepare it!! ♥
My husband will LOVE this! Thank you!
Bacon in guacamole? I didn't think I could like guacamole anymore than I already did.
This looks delicious! I am pinning this as we speak!
I just want you to know that your food photography for your website is gorgeous. Even if there is an ingredient in a recipe that you have that I don't like, I would probably still try it because it looks delicious!
Hey! Man, you are very great. This simply mean that you are all round perffect; i Love your type!
I never thought of adding bacon to guacamole before, but now I'm shaking my head wondering why I *didn't* think of it before! Yum yum!
There's nothing much better than bacon and guacamole! Love it!
I love your recipes, thank you so much for sharing!
Inspired! Bacon and avocado is a hot favourite in South Africa on pizzas and burgers – so I can imagine it would be awesome in a dip! Have you tried a guacamole with feta cheese?
Everything is better with bacon!
Thanks for sharing…thinking I might try this for the super bowl Sunday! Thanks.
Love Guacamole and this just makes it look delicious with the bacon added!
I am pretty positive this recipe NEEDS to go on this Ultimate Paleo Super Bowl Party Menu! And I mean…who doesn't love bacon and avocado?! Perfect mix! Definitely making these or the BLTs from that Paleo list 🙂
Your food looks decadent and wonderful but I'm glad I don't live near you. I worry about the condition of your arteries!
I will definitely be trying this. I just became aware of bacon guacamole after hearing Michael Symon talk about it on The Best Thing I Ever Ate.
Wow, awesome idea! Definitely making this for super bowl!
Kevin,
you make my mouth water!! I am so hungry now, ummmmmm
LOVED LOVED LOVED this recipe!!! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe. Blogged about it and gave you 100% credit for this wonderful dip. I had it with chips and then put some on top of fish tacos with my family last night for dinner. I did add equal parts lemon juice and lime juice because I like a more citrus taste in mine.

I want to make this for our Spanish Party for july 4th. How long does this last? Is it a one day deal or can it sit over night in the fridge?
Thanks!
Tara Leigh Lindow: This guacamole is best on the first day but it will keep at least 2 days. The lime juice in the guacamole will help prevent the avocado from browning so you can use a bit more lime juice to help it keep longer. You can also and a splash of lime juice on top of it in to help prevent discoloration on the top where it is exposed to the air. Enjoy!
