Made this recipe as directed and everyone loved it! Even those who don't like hummus liked the hint of cheese flavor of the dip. I used vegetable crackers to dip with and the flavors melded well with the dip. I will make this again!

I alter this recipe by just a bit because I am NOT a fan of bacon, but LOVE cumin. I omit the bacon step and just add two to three times the amount of cumin recommended. Also, I add a bit more sour cream since I don't use sour cream for anything else and don't want to waste the left over sour cream. I have made this for friends and family and EVERYONE loves the dip and keeps asking me for the recipe. It only takes me about 25 minutes and its super easy! Everyone should trip this recipe!

this is satisfying,quick,healthy, and a complete winner with my guests! It also sates appetites long enough to give a solo cook time to prepare main courses! I made the french dip and saw this recipe in the same episode additions!
What a life saver, and I, for once, stuck to a recipe and would'nt change a thing!
