Becky’s Tips

• I like to use lean beef (85-90%), but you use any beef since we’re draining off the excess fat.
• Make the dip in a slow cooker by layering the ingredients and cooking on low heat for a few hours.

How to Make Cheeseburger Dip Step by Step

Get the oven going and prepare a baking dish: Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick spray. Set aside.

Cook the ground beef: Brown ¾ lb. ground beef and 2 cloves garlic in a medium skillet set over medium-high heat. Crumble as you brown. About halfway through, add ½ cup onion and stir to combine. When the beef is fully cooked and the onion is translucent and fragrant, drain of any excess oil and set aside.

Combine ingredients in a blender: In a high powered blender, combine 16 oz. cream cheese, 1 cup sour cream, ½ cup mayo, 1 cup cheddar cheese, and 1 cup Swiss cheese. Pulse until combined.

Combine cheese and meat: Pour cream cheese mixture into a large bowl and stir in the beef, 1 cup bacon crumbles, ¼ cup pickles, ½ cup cilantro, and ¾ cup tomatoes.

Transfer to baking dish: Pour mixture into a prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with more cheese if desired.

Bake: Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and melty.

Variations

Feel free to add your favorite burger toppings to this dip. Here are some fun ways to make it unique:

• Use ground turkey for a turkey cheeseburger dip.
• Try adding frizzled onion, barbecue sauce, and diced avocado for a cowboy burger dip.
• Add caramelized onions and use all Swiss cheese for caramelized onion and Swiss burger dip.
• Drizzle with burger sauce to take it to the next level.
• Use pimento cheese to make pimento cheeseburger dip.

How to Store

You can make cheeseburger dip ahead of time and refrigerate it until ready to serve. It can also be reheated in the oven or microwave.

Store leftover cheeseburger dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat covered with foil in a 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes or in a crockpot set on low heat for about 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally, until heated through. I do not recommend freezing this dip.

Serving Suggestions

This cheeseburger dip is delicious served with crunchy tortilla chips, pita chips, homemade crackers, or crostini. You can also dip fresh veggies, like carrots, celery, broccoli, and cauliflower, for a healthier option. If you’re a pickle lover like me, these refrigerator pickles or fried pickles are also a great option!
