Cheeseburger Dip Recipe (in the Crockpot)
Description
This Cheeseburger Dip is prepared by browning ground beef with red onion and garlic, then mixing in ketchup, stone ground mustard, and dill relish to deliver the familiar cheeseburger flavor components. Transferred to a crockpot, it is combined with diced tomatoes, cream cheese chunks, shredded sharp cheddar, and Colby Jack cheese along with crispy bacon pieces.
Slow cooking on low allows the cheeses to melt gently into a creamy, cohesive dip while the beef mixture remains juicy and flavorful. The combination of cheeses adds depth with sharpness and creamy mildness, balanced by the savory, smoky bacon. The texture is smooth with occasional diced tomato and bacon bits for interest.
Serve this dip warm with tortilla chips, potato chips, pretzels, or crusty French bread slices. For a lighter alternative, try fresh vegetable sticks such as celery or carrots. It also reheats well and can be prepared in the oven as a baked dish.
Leftovers can be refrigerated up to four days in an airtight container, maintaining flavor and texture for future snacking or party use.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup red onion diced
- 3 garlic minced, cloves
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup mustard stone ground
- 3 1/2 Tablespoons dill relish
- 15 ounce diced tomato undrained, petite, canned
- 8 ounces cream cheese diced into small chunks
- 8 ounces cheddar cheese shredded sharp
- 8 ounces Colby jack cheese shredded
- 8-10 lices Bacon cooked until crispy and chopped
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the red onion, and garlic. Cook until the meat is cooked through and the onion is translucent.
- Add in the ketchup, dijon mustard, and relish. Stir well.
- Transfer the cooked mixture to your slow cooker. Stir in the diced tomatoes, cream cheese chunks, all of the sharp cheddar cheese, half of the Colby Jack cheese, and the chopped bacon.
- Place the lid on the crockpot and cook on low for 2-3 hours, stirring every 20-30 minutes until everything is melted and well combined.
- Once fully heated and melted, sprinkle with the remaining Colby jack cheese and replace the lid. Allow the cheese to melt, about 10-15 minutes, and then turn the slow cooker to warm and serve.
Notes
- Serve with tortilla chips, potato chips, pretzels, French bread, or fresh vegetables like celery and carrots for dipping.
- Add chopped jalapenos or hot sauce to increase spice if desired.
- Use ground turkey and light cheeses for a lighter version of the dip.
- Can be baked in a greased 9x13 inch dish at 350°F for 20 minutes; add remaining cheese and bake another 5-10 minutes for a baked alternative.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
