BACON CHEESEBURGER CROCK POT DIP

Serves: 6-8

Game day or any day this Crockpot Cheeseburger Dip is a great appetizer for a crowd. Such a simple recipe that will have everyone asking for the recipe!

I love making and eating fall foods, especially on the weekends when football is on. My family looks forward to the fun appetizers and snacks that hit the table on the weekend. This Crockpot Cheeseburger Dip is a family favorite that everyone loves! Keep it on warm in the crockpot so it stays cheesy and gooey!

This dip is perfect in a 2 qt crockpot, but my smallest is a 4qt and it worked well too!  I even pre-brown my ground beef and keep it in the freezer to make it easy to throw recipes like this dip together.

ingredients:

1 lb of lean ground beef or turkey

8 oz package of cream cheese, cubed

2 c shredded cheddar cheese

10 oz can of diced tomatoes with green chiles

6 oz package of real bacon bits, divided

1 t dried parsley

assorted dippers

Directions:

Brown up ground meat

Drain meat and place in a large skillet

Over low heat, stir in cheeses, tomatoes along with their juices and all of the bacon bits except for 2 tablespoons (set these aside for garnish at the end)

Cook while stirring frequently until everything is heated through and well blended
Pour mixture into a 2-quart crock pot

Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours stirring occasionally.

Stir in parsley and sprinkle with remaining bacon bits just before serving.
