Ingredients

  • 1 small Vidalia onion (sweet onion) diced finely
  • 1/2 lb ground beef
  • 5-7 slices bacon, uncooked
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, full fat and room temperature
  • 3/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 3/4 cup Monterrey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped/rinsed/dried

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line two plates with paper towels and set aside.
    Place bacon slices on a cookie sheet lined with tin foil. Bake bacon until brown and crispy. (Turn once during baking.) Remove bacon and drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Pour 1-2 Tbsp bacon grease into a skillet.
  • Place chopped onion in the prepared skillet. Sauté over medium heat until tender and translucent. Add ground beef to the onion/bacon grease mixture in the skillet. Cook until meat is brown and juices run clean. Drain hamburger and onions on the second plate with paper towels.
  • In a medium bowl, add cream cheese, 1 cup of shredded cheeses, hamburger mixture, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Crumble cooled bacon and incorporate into the mixture.
  • Pour mixture into a baking pan or cast iron skillet. Bake 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven, stir well. Add remaining cheese on top of dip and return to the oven until the cheese is melted. Remove and top with green onions. Serve with tortilla chips.
