Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Velveeta cheese, cubed
- 1/4 cup diced dill pickles
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- 1 tbsp pickle juice
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Brown the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, seasoning it with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until fully browned and drain any excess grease to avoid a greasy dip.
- Combine Ingredients in Crockpot: Transfer the cooked beef to your crockpot. Add the shredded cheddar cheese, cubed Velveeta, diced dill pickles, mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, and pickle juice. Stir thoroughly to combine all flavors evenly.
- Slow Cook the Dip: Set the crockpot to LOW heat and cook the mixture for 2 to 3 hours. Stir the dip occasionally during this time to ensure the cheeses melt evenly and the dip becomes creamy.
- Keep Warm and Serve: Once the cheeses have melted and the dip is creamy and hot, switch the crockpot setting to WARM. Serve the dip directly from the crockpot to keep it at the ideal temperature throughout your event.
- Optional Garnish: For an authentic Big Mac vibe, garnish the dip with sesame seeds, shredded lettuce, or extra pickles before serving to add texture and additional flavor.
Notes
- Drain the ground beef well to prevent the dip from being too greasy.
- Stir occasionally during cooking to prevent sticking and ensure even melting.
- Serve with tortilla chips, crackers, or toasted baguette slices for a perfect pairing.
- For a spicier twist, add a dash of hot sauce or finely diced jalapeños.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
