Ingredients:

• Dan-O’s Outlaw Spicy BBQ
• 1 pound bacon, cut into small pieces
• 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 24 fl oz dill pickles, chopped (reserve 2 oz of the dill pickle juice)
• 2 blocks cream cheese, softened
• 2 (8-ounce) containers sour cream (or 1 (16-ounce) container)
• Wavy chips (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Bacon: In a skillet, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until it is about halfway cooked. Sprinkle Dan-O’s Outlaw Spicy BBQ over the bacon and stir to combine.

2. Continue cooking until the bacon is crispy. Set aside three-fourths of the cooked bacon and drain the excess grease.

3. Toast the Panko Breadcrumbs: In the same skillet, add 2 cups of panko breadcrumbs to the remaining bacon grease. Toast the breadcrumbs for about 1 minute, adding a sprinkle of Dan-O’s Outlaw Spicy BBQ, stirring until they are golden brown. Set this mixture aside.

4. Combine the Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the chopped pickles, diced bacon, softened cream cheese, sour cream, and the reserved pickle juice. Mix everything until well combined and creamy.

5. Transfer the pickle dip mixture to a serving dish and top with the toasted panko breadcrumb mixture for added crunch. Serve with wavy chips for dipping.
