Big Game Mexican Bacon Cheeseburger Dip
Mexican Bacon Cheeseburger Dip is a favorite during football season. It’s also great for any party! This time of year a lot of time is spent watching TV on game day(basketball and football) and consuming lots of yummy food. As we prep for the Big Game and the gathering of family and friends there are a few things that make party hosting easier. Of course, everyone is looking for great food, but when you’re planning a party you know more is involved. Here’s one of our family’s favorite dips.

I also like to pick up some great quality paper goods is essential for hosting a party. After the game is over and everyone has gone home, I don’t want to spend my evening doing dishes.
Cooking Directions
This dip is hearty and warms you from the inside out. Let’s get into how to make this great dip!
I start by getting my bacon into the oven. That’s my preferred method of cooking bacon so I don’t have to babysit it. While the bacon is cooking I start cooking the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the beef until it’s cooked through and crumbles into smaller pieces.
Cut the Velveeta cheese into chunks and then add to the cooked ground beef. Stir frequently until the cheese melts. You could also do a combo of Velvetta and cheddar cheese. I like using Velvetta because it makes the dip super creamy.
Once the cheese is melted, chop up the cooked bacon. Then add the Rotel and the chopped bacon to the pan of the beef mixture. You can just tell that this dip will have amazing flavors! Serve hot with tortilla chips, or chunks of French bread.
Any dip that can be made in about 20 minutes is a winner!
Big Game Mexican Bacon Cheeseburger Dip
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 5 slices bacon
- 2 lbs Velveeta cheese
- 1 can of Ro-tel
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook up your bacon strips as you desire. I like to cook mine at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes.
- Brown your ground beef on your stove top over medium heat until all the pink is gone. Drain the fat.
- Slice the Velveeta cheese into big chunks and add it to the browned ground beef over medium heat.
- While the cheese is melting slice your bacon into big chunks.
- Once the cheese is melted add the can of Ro-tel and your bacon and turn your heat to low. Let is simmer for a few minutes.
- Serve hot with chips or slices of french bread.
Once it’s all prepped, I love putting it in our mini slow cooker to keep it warm throughout the game. This dip is perfect for the Super Bowl. It’s so hearty that it could be used as a meal even. Just keep it in the crockpot and let your guests serve it up as they want.
Ground beef, cheese, tomatoes, bacon, and spices… you can’t go wrong!
Other Cheeseburger Dip Ideas
- Pickles – you could add chopped up dill pickles.
- Onions – you could add chopped onions to the ground beef while it’s cooking.
Thanks for stopping by my friends!!
Hi! What about this recipe is Mexican?
The can of Rotel salsa.
Watching the Hawks/49ers game right now… I would LOVE to be noshing on your dip!
Oh wow – this looks totally addictive! Yummy! Pined!!!!
You had me at Velveeta and bacon. LOL. Pretty sure this would be a winner no matter when you served it.
I do a similar version of this dip but mine is with a can of Hormel chili instead of the bacon.
I may try this one next time!
Oh yum Stacy! The Hubster would love that. We do a dip with chili and cream cheese, but ground beef and chili is a meat lovers paradise.
