Ingredients

1 lb lean ground beef (85/15)
8 bacon strips, cooked, crumbled
8 oz cream cheese, softened, cubed
1/2 cup sour cream
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 can canned diced tomatoes with green chiles (such as Rotel), drained
2 tsp yellow mustard
2 tsp gluten-free Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1

Cook the 1 lb lean ground beef (85/15) in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it apart, until browned and cooked through to 160°F (71°C). Drain excess fat. Season with 1/2 tsp kosher salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp onion powder.
2

Transfer the cooked lean ground beef (85/15) to the slow cooker. Add the 8 oz softened, cubed cream cheese, 1/2 cup sour cream, half the 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, 1 can drained canned diced tomatoes with green chiles (such as Rotel), 2 tsp yellow mustard, 2 tsp gluten-free Worcestershire sauce, and most of the 8 cooked, crumbled bacon strips (reserve a small amount for garnish). Stir to combine.
3

Cover and cook on LOW for 2 hours (or HIGH for 1 hour), stirring once halfway through, until the cream cheese is fully melted and the dip is bubbly.
4

Sprinkle the remaining sharp cheddar cheese and reserved bacon strips on top. Serve hot directly from the slow cooker with tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced vegetables for dipping.

Questions

Can I make Slow Cooker Bacon Cheeseburger Dip dairy-free?

Not cleanly. Here the dairy (8 oz cream cheese, softened, cubed, 1/2 cup sour cream, 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded) is the backbone of the dish, and plant-based substitutes change both its texture and its flavor. If you need strictly dairy-free, start from the dairy-free appetizer collection instead.

How long does Slow Cooker Bacon Cheeseburger Dip keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat gently on the stovetop. It also freezes well for up to three months.

Can I halve or double Slow Cooker Bacon Cheeseburger Dip?

Yes. As written it serves 10. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Keep the slow cooker between half and two-thirds full; the cook time stays roughly the same.
