Cheeseburger Dip | The Recipe Critic

Cheeseburger dip is a crowd-pleasing appetizer for potlucks, parties, and get-togethers! This recipe takes delicious cheeseburger ingredients like beef, onion, tomato, relish, and cheese and turns them into a deliciously addicting snack! 

Ingredients for Cheeseburger Dip

If you love burgers as much as I do, then you will love this dip. It’s cheesy, meaty, flavorful, and so simple to throw together! Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.

• Ground Beef: Using 80/20 ground chuck will add more flavor, but feel free to use leaner ground beef if you’d like. It will be amazing either way!
• Diced Onion: Sautéed to add depth of flavor.
• Diced Tomatoes: Use a can of petite diced tomatoes for a sweet, acidic taste and extra texture. Instead of using diced tomatoes, you can use canned diced tomatoes with green chiles! This will add some heat if you prefer a spicy dip.
• Dill Relish: Adds a bit of tangy sweetness, just like when you add pickles to burgers!
• Velveeta Cheese: Provides the perfect melty, gooey, creamy texture.
• Cream Cheese: Adds a creamy, rich flavor and texture.
• Salt & Ground Black Pepper: To bring out and enhance all of the flavors.
• Toppings: You can add any toppings you’d like, but our favorites are shredded lettuce, grilled onions, and diced cherry tomatoes.

Let’s Make Cheeseburger Dip!

I love to whip this dip up for potlucks, holiday parties, and game days! This is super easy to cook either on the stovetop or in a slow cooker. See the recipe card for slow cooker instructions. Get ready to be obsessed with this ooey-gooey, hearty dip!

1. Brown the Beef: Add the ground beef to a medium skillet or cast iron pan. Cook over medium heat until cooked through and no pink remains. Drain the fat except for one tablespoon and remove the beef from the pan.
2. Sauté the Onions: Add the onions to the pan and stir into the remaining beef fat. Cook for 3-4 minutes over medium heat until the onions are tender and translucent.
3. Combine: Add the cooked beef, diced tomatoes, and relish to the onions. Stir to combine and cook for about 2 minutes, until heated through.
4. Finish with Cheeses and Toppings: Cut the Velveeta and cream cheese into cubes and add to the pan. Cook and stir until all the cheese has melted. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Transfer to a serving dish and top with shredded lettuce, caramelized onions, and diced tomatoes. Serve with bread or crackers.
