Ingredients
Cheeseburger Dip Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 16 ounces Velveeta, cubed
- 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
- 1 cup (113 g) mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 small red onion, diced (about ½ cup)
- 1 tablespoon hamburger seasoning
- 4 dill pickles, finely diced (about ½ cup)
- Tortilla chips, for serving
Instructions
- Cook the ground beef: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon or spatula, until no longer pink, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Drain excess grease: Carefully pour off or spoon out any excess fat from the skillet to prevent the dip from being too greasy.
- Add cheeses, tomatoes, onions, and seasoning: Into the cooked beef, add the cubed Velveeta, diced tomatoes with green chilies (with their juice), shredded mozzarella, diced red onion, and hamburger seasoning. Stir everything well to combine.
- Melt the cheese mixture: Continue cooking over medium heat, stirring often, until the Velveeta and mozzarella cheese are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy, approximately 5 minutes.
- Fold in the diced pickles: Add the finely diced dill pickles to the dip and gently stir to distribute evenly without breaking them down too much.
- Serve warm: Transfer the dip to a serving dish or keep it in the skillet on low heat. Serve warm with tortilla chips or potato chips for dipping.
Notes
- For extra spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce when cooking the beef.
- Use sharp cheddar cheese instead of mozzarella for a more classic cheeseburger flavor.
- Make sure to drain the cooked beef well to avoid a greasy dip.
- The dip can be kept warm in a slow cooker set to low for parties.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
