🥘 Ingredients
🔪 Instructions

🏫 What I've Learned
This recipe turned out to be a favorite of everyone who tried it. I would definitely double the recipe (or maybe even triple it) the next time I was making it for a crowd.
When making just a single recipe, it works great to cook the ingredients in the skillet, then bake it in the oven to finish it off. However, when making it for a crowd and increasing the amount of ingredients, I like to add the cooked burger combination to the slow cooker and cook it on low for about an hour, then reduce the heat to warm to keep it nice and hot.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this bacon cheeseburger dip with Air Fryer Tortilla Chips, Buttery Garlic Bread Chips, or your favorite chip for dipping.
