We had an appetizer party so as soon as I finished my sweet ham & swiss sliders, I made my yummy cheesy cheeseburger dip. Yeah, that’s a lot of cheese but a lot of people are eating so I don’t worry much. This would actually be a great appetizer for a sporting event. It’s a winner for sure!
You start by browning your ground beef. When the beef is almost finish, add in one chopped white or yellow onion.
While the onions are becoming translucent, chop up your dill pickles, water and half a bar of cream cheese. Do NOT be tempted to use sweet relish or sweet pickles. The outcome is not the same and it’s not as delicious. I really do promise you. But if you use sweet, you’ve been warned. 🙂
As soon as the cream cheese and chopped pickles have become incorporated, add in half of your shredded cheese and stir.
Grease a baking dish and pour the meat and cheese mixture into dish. Top with remaining cheese and put in oven.
When it comes out of the oven you can top with romaine lettuce, green onions and/or tomatoes. I don’t like raw tomatoes so I didn’t add them to mine but my sister sent me a pic of hers where she did.
I serve mine with tortilla chips but you at least need to eat a spoonful too. 🙂
