Crock Pot Bacon Cheeseburger Dip
Description
The Crock Pot Bacon Cheeseburger Dip centers on flavorful ground beef browned with traditional seasonings and Worcestershire sauce to deepen its taste. Crispy thick-cut bacon and sautéed onions and garlic add texture and aroma. A creamy mixture of cream cheese, sour cream, ketchup, mustard, and diced tomatoes with chilies brings a tangy balance to the richness. Layered generously with mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, the dip cooks in a slow cooker to meld flavors and achieve a smooth, luscious consistency.
With its warm, cheesy texture dotted with meaty and smoky bits, this dip suits casual gatherings and game days. Serving it with salty chips or toasted bread provides a pleasing contrast. It can be made in advance, making it a convenient option when hosting.
The original recipe notes mention an alternative cooking method in the oven: assembling the mixture in a baking dish topped with cheddar and baking at 350°F until melted and bubbly. This provides flexibility if time is limited or a slow cooker is unavailable.

- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder

- add the bacon and cook to crispy
- once cool enough to touch chop the bacon
- drain off excess fat, leaving about a tbsp in the pan
- add the onion and stir to allow them to pick up the yummy bits on the bottom of the pan, cooking for 1-2 minutes
- add garlic and stir constantly so that it doesn't burn, cooking for 30 seconds to 1 minute
- remove to a plate
- in a mixing bowl combine the cream cheese and sour cream until most of the lumps are gone
- mix in the ketchup, mustard, and diced tomatoes
- add the meat mixture, bacon and onions and garlic into the insert of your crock pot

- cook on low for 2 to 3 hours until warmed through and bubbly
Notes
- This dip can be baked in the oven at 350°F in a greased casserole dish for 20-30 minutes instead of using a crock pot.
- Using thick-cut bacon helps achieve a crispier texture and better flavor contrast in the dip.
- Drain excess fat from cooked beef and bacon to avoid a greasy dip, leaving about one tablespoon for sautéing onion and garlic.
- Serve the dip warm to maintain its creamy texture and ease of scooping.
