Hot Cheeseburger Dip

This Hot Cheeseburger Dip is a fun - if artery clogging - twist on tradition. Top with crumbled bacon to make it a bacon cheeseburger dip!
I want to preface this with a warning that this Hot Cheeseburger Dip is not high cuisine.
What a way to start out a recipe, eh? Here's the thing: As I was sauteeing the onions and ground beef, it smelled exactly like White Castle. Funny, that such a basic pair of ingredients can have SUCH an association with them.
Anyway, this recipe started out as a request to make a cheese dip for a batch of Beer Pretzels I'd baked for Porter.
I had some sharp cheddar, and I had some thawed ground beef - cheeseburger dip hit me as a fun, probably kind of trashy idea to try.
Porter was skeptical about its viability - kind of a rare state, for him.
It whipped up quickly, and when all was said and done... he loved it! It's kind of a rare thing for me to see him surprised anymore, so it was a treat for me, too!
Oh, and the first thing he said after trying it? That it tasted like White Castle. Uhhh...
He DID follow it up to say that it was a good thing, so know that we're going for nostalgia here.
Serving Hot Cheeseburger Dip
While we created this as a dip for soft pretzels, it would work with other dippers, as well!
- Tortilla chips, pita wedges, crunch pretzels, etc
- French fries, potato wedges, etc
- Veggies (for a bit of balance!)
Whichever way you go with it, just be sure to keep it warm!
Oh, and pro tip? Crispy crumbled bacon on top = bacon cheeseburger dip. SO good!
We tend to use our Fondue Pot, but there are other products out there that accomplish the same, sometimes more efficiently.
There are Mini Crock Pots, Betty Crocker has a cute little Mini Warmer, etc.
Sure, they're fairly single-objective appliances... but it's a lot better than constantly having to go re-heat your dip during the game!

Geez Marie, I may just have to ruin my diet with this. It sounds excellent :).
I'm sorry! I know it's totally junky, but it makes really great "guilty pleasure" comfort food!
I made this for my grandson's birthday. It did not disappoint and there were no leftovers. I kept it in a small crock pot on low to keep it warm during the party. This is a definite winner, awesome for a Super Bowl party.
Glad you enjoyed it!
