No one will be able to resist this flavor-packed appetizer at your next mingling!
Microwave the bacon based on the directions on the package until it's crisp, then let it drain on paper towels. Let it cool for 10 minutes, then crumble it up. Stir together the bacon and the next 4 ingredients. Cover it up and let it chill 1 to 24 hours before serving. Garnish, if desired, with additional bacon, chives, and/or fresh pepper. Serve with crispy, warm waffle fries.
You can keep any leftovers in the fridge for up to a week.
