Bacon Horseradish Dip-an Alton Brown Recipe

If you're a fan of the dip that comes in the little plastic tubs at the supermarket, this homemade Bacon Horseradish Dip will make you whimper! Ok, maybe that was just me, but I do think you'll like it folks. Salty, zingy, smokey and a little sour, there's a lot to love here... Alton says to let it hang out in the fridge over night so the flavors can mingle... I say good luck with that:@)

 And in this reporter's opinion, the fresher and sharper the horseradish, the better!

Oh and, if you're going to take pictures of it, it's probably a good idea to save some bacon to sprinkle on top:@)

1. Fry bacon until crisp, drain on paper towel, crumble and reserve bacon fat.
2. Fry onion in bacon fat until it begins to wilt. I scooped the onions onto a plate to cool.
