How to Make Sizzling Bacon Cheeseburger Queso Dip
Step 1: Cook the Beef
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat for a smooth dip texture.
Step 2: Season the Meat
Stir in the taco seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well so the flavors blend into the beef. Set aside.
Step 3: Make the Cheese Sauce
In a saucepan over low heat, melt the cream cheese. Slowly stir in the sour cream and milk until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Melt the Cheeses
Gradually add shredded cheddar and mozzarella, stirring constantly until the cheese melts and becomes silky.
Step 5: Combine Everything
Pour the cheese sauce into the skillet with the seasoned beef. Add the crumbled bacon and stir until everything is well combined and super cheesy.
Step 6: Serve & Enjoy!
Pour the dip into a serving dish and serve immediately with tortilla chips. Garnish with green onions, diced tomatoes, or jalapeños for extra flavor.

Tips for the Best Bacon Cheeseburger Queso Dip
✔️ Use Full-Fat Dairy – For the creamiest texture, opt for full-fat cheese, sour cream, and milk.
✔️ Shred Your Own Cheese – Pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents that affect melting. Freshly shredded cheese = ultra smooth dip!
✔️ Keep the Dip Warm – Serve in a slow cooker on “warm” to keep it melty during parties.
✔️ Make It Ahead – You can prepare the beef mixture a day in advance and store it in the fridge. Just reheat and add to the cheese sauce when ready!
Storage & Reheating Instructions
🧊 To Store: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
🔥 To Reheat: Warm in a saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently. If it thickens, add a splash of milk to loosen it up.
❄️ To Freeze: Freeze the beef mixture separately, then reheat and mix with fresh cheese sauce before serving.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I make this dip in a slow cooker?
Yes! Cook the beef and bacon first, then add everything to a slow cooker on “low” for 2-3 hours. Stir occasionally to keep it creamy.
Can I make it spicy?
Absolutely! Add diced jalapeños, cayenne pepper, or hot sauce to the cheese sauce for extra heat.
Can I use Velveeta instead of shredded cheese?
Yes! If you prefer extra smooth queso, substitute 2 cups of cubed Velveeta instead of shredded cheese.
