Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 12 ounces cream cheese
  • 4 ounces American cheese slices
  • 1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
  • 1 cup crisp shredded lettuce
  • ½ cup chopped ripe tomatoes
  • ¼ cup diced dill pickles
  • ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
  • ½ cup Optional cooked bacon bits
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon classic yellow mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon pickle brine
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Sturdy kettle chips, pita chips, or tortilla chips

Method
 

  1. Now, let's get to the heart of the matter. Here is how to prepare this creamy delight:
Step 1: Cook the Ground Beef
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it’s browned and no longer pink. Ensure you break it up into crumbles as it cooks. This process should take about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Step 2: Add the Cream Cheese
  1. Reduce the heat to low. Add the softened cream cheese directly into the skillet. Stir continuously until it becomes completely melted and creamy, seamlessly incorporating with the beef.
Step 3: Mix in Seasonings and Cheese
  1. Sprinkle in the dry onion soup seasoning and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until everything is well combined. Next, add American cheese slices one at a time, stirring until each slice melts into the mixture. Follow this with the shredded Colby Jack cheese, continuing to stir until creamy and gooey.
Step 4: Prepare the Sauce
  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, pickle brine, and smoked paprika. You’ll want this sauce to be smooth. Once it’s ready, fold it into the dip mixture until everything is nicely blended.
Step 5: Enhance with Toppings
  1. Remove the skillet from the heat. Top with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, diced pickles, red onion, and, if you’re feeling indulgent, sprinkle cooked bacon bits on top.
Step 6: Serve It Up!
  1. Serve the dip warm with your chosen dippables. Enjoy this creamy treat together with friends, family, or just keep to yourself if you prefer.
