Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, chopped
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup diced onions
Additional Ingredients
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned, breaking it apart as it cooks for even texture.
- Drain excess fat: Carefully drain off any excess grease from the cooked beef to keep the dip from becoming too oily, then transfer the beef to your slow cooker.
- Add remaining ingredients: To the slow cooker, add cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped cooked bacon, diced tomatoes, diced onions, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
- Combine the mixture: Stir all the ingredients thoroughly until they are well combined into a uniform mixture.
- Cook in slow cooker: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 2 to 3 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the cheese to melt perfectly.
- Stir occasionally: Every so often, give the dip a good stir to keep it creamy and to ensure even heating.
- Serve warm: Once hot and creamy, serve the dip warm alongside chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
Notes
- Use pre-cooked bacon to save time.
- For a spicier dip, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
- Substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise to lighten the dip slightly.
- Ensure to stir occasionally during cooking to prevent the cheeses from sticking or burning.
- This dip can be made a day ahead and reheated gently before serving.
