PREP TIME: 20 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 2 hours 40 minutes
SERVINGS: 16

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces bacon
  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, cubed
  • 1 (8-ounce) package shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Cook the Bacon
    • Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until it’s evenly browned and crispy (about 10 minutes).
    • Remove the bacon and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Reserve the bacon drippings in the skillet.
  2. Brown the Ground Beef
    • Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it’s completely browned (about 5–7 minutes).
    • Drain the cooked beef, then return the skillet to the stove on low heat.
  3. Mix the Ingredients
    • Stir the diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, cream cheese cubes, and shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend into the cooked beef.
    • Crumble most of the cooked bacon and stir it into the mixture, reserving a few teaspoons for garnish.
    • Cook and stir until the cheese begins to melt (about 2–3 minutes).
  4. Transfer to Slow Cooker
    • Pour the mixture into a slow cooker and set it to Low. Cook for 2–3 hours, stirring occasionally, until the dip is hot and bubbly.
  5. Garnish and Serve
    • Stir the chopped parsley into the dip and garnish with the reserved crumbled bacon.
    • Serve the dip directly from the slow cooker, keeping it set to Low to maintain the perfect serving temperature.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this dip with tortilla chips, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetable sticks like celery and carrot. It’s also delicious as a topping for baked potatoes or burgers!

Tips for Success

  • Use Thick-Cut Bacon: For extra flavor and a meatier texture.
  • Make Ahead: Cook the bacon and beef a day in advance and store them in the refrigerator until ready to assemble.
  • Spice It Up: Add diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne for a spicier kick.
  • Creamier Dip: Stir in a splash of milk or heavy cream if you prefer a looser consistency.

Storage and Reheating

  • Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat: Warm in the slow cooker on Low or in the microwave until heated through.

This Slow Cooker Bacon Cheeseburger Dip combines all the best parts of a cheeseburger into one comforting, cheesy bite. Perfect for sharing—or keeping all to yourself!
