Homemade Bacon Horseradish Dip that tastes just like the popular brand! Made with real bacon, horseradish sauce, and sour cream, it’s easy to make and full of flavor.
I had been wanting to make a copycat version of Heluva Good! Bacon Horseradish Dip for a long time. It’s my favorite of all of the Heluva Good dips! I tried to make it once last summer making the dip with refrigerated horseradish, but I didn’t like it because it tasted to vinegary. I found a few recipes online that said to make sure the horseradish is well drained, but there wasn’t really any liquid in it to drain.
I didn’t try to make it again until just recently, but I had decided awhile ago to give up on the idea of using fresh horseradish and use store-bought horseradish sauce instead. There are a number of brands you can use. In my case, I used Dietz & Watson horseradish sauce, I think it’s the best horseradish sauce brand.
Bacon Horseradish Dip
This Bacon Horseradish Dip is almost an exact match to the favorite! The only difference is that the bacon crumbles are a bit bigger than the store-bought. I made them as small as possible by crumbling the bacon in my small food processor instead of trying to do it by hand. After that, it’s just the horseradish sauce, sour cream, and a little bit of onion powder, so easy!
I made it again last night for munching on during the Super Bowl, along with Spinach Artichoke Dip and Cajun Ranch Wings. Too bad we weren’t having a party, it was just the three of us. Oh, well, that just means more for me!
Here are a few more copycat recipes I’ve made over the years:
Broccoli Cheddar Pasta Salad ((Walmart Copycat Recipe)
Mozzarella Tomato and Artichoke Salad (Discontinued Walmart Recipe)
Noodles and Ground Beef Soup (Campbell’s Copycat Recipe)
Victory Pig Sicilian Style Pizza

Can you use just prepared horseradish? If so what would the amount be?
Bernadette says
Hi Darryl, I originally tried to make this recipe using prepared horseradish, but I didn’t care for the texture it gave the dip. If you want to try it, I used two or three tablespoons.

I tried to make this on my own once and couldn’t get the horseradish taste of Hell Of Good. I will be trying this very shortly. Thank you for posting this.
Bernadette says
I hope you like it! I tried one or two times to make it before I figured out I needed the horseradish sauce.
Juli says
I followed the recipe exactly, and my hubby said that all he could taste was the horseradish sauce. I added another cup of sour cream and that helped get it closer to the hellava bacon horseradish dip. Since they don’t sell it around us, this was a great substitute. Thanks!
Bernadette says
I’m glad you were able to adjust it to your liking.
Kathleen Flaherty says
Are you sure it is 12 ounces of horseradish. That it way to much. That’s 1 1/2 cups.
Bernadette says
Hi Kathleen, it’s horseradish sauce, not pure horseradish. I used Dietz and Watson brand but there are several different brands. It’s like Arby’s Horsey Sauce. You can copy this link into a new tab to see the ingredients. http://dietzandwatson.com/products/horseradish-sauce-3/

Sauce…not full-strength horseradish. I actually use packets of Arby’s Horsey Sauce.
