Smoky BLT Stuffed Avocados with Bacon Ranch Dressing

Ingredients
  

Ingredients for the Bacon Ranch Dressing:

  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 mayo
  • 2 teaspoon ranch dressing mix
  • 3 slices Butterball Everyday Turkey Bacon cooked crisp

Ingredients for the BLT Stuffed Avocados:

  • 1/4 cup white cooking wine
  • 1 can 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes, mostly drained
  • 1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 cup spinach leaves roughly chopped
  • 7-8 slices Butterball Everyday Turkey Bacon cooked crisp & chopped
  • 2 avocados
  • juice from 1 small lemon

Instructions
 

  • For the Bacon Ranch Dressing, mix the milk, sour cream, mayo & ranch dressing mix in a small bowl. Crumble the bacon into the dressing & stir to mix. Cover & chill until ready to use.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the white cooking white, the tomatoes, liquid smoke, basil, oregano & garlic. Bring to a boil then reduce heat & simmer for about 5 minutes or until the liquid is reduced by at least half to 3/4′s.
  • Once the liquid is reduced, add in the chopped spinach & the crispy, chopped bacon. Gently fold to combine the ingredients & allow the spinach to slightly wilt. Remove from heat.
  • While the tomatoes are simmering, halve the avocados & remove the pit. Squeeze the lemon juice lightly over the avocado halves – I scored my avocados as if I was going to use it for guacamole so it would be easier to eat.. Once the Smoky BLT filling is ready, fill each avocado half with 1/4 of the mixture, packing lightly.
  • Serve with the Bacon Ranch Dressing lightly drizzled on top of the avocados, on the side or both!
