Equipment

1 Crockpot

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 cup red onion diced
3 garlic cloves minced
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup stone ground mustard
3 1/2 Tablespoons dill relish
15 ounce can petite diced tomatoes undrained
8 ounces cream cheese diced into small chunks
8 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese
8 ounces shredded Colby Jack cheese
8-10 slices bacon cooked until crispy and chopped

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the red onion, and garlic. Cook until the meat is cooked through and the onion is translucent.
Add in the ketchup, dijon mustard, and relish. Stir well.
Transfer the cooked mixture to your slow cooker. Stir in the diced tomatoes, cream cheese chunks, all of the sharp cheddar cheese, half of the Colby Jack cheese, and the chopped bacon.
Place the lid on the crockpot and cook on low for 2-3 hours, stirring every 20-30 minutes until everything is melted and well combined.
Once fully heated and melted, sprinkle with the remaining Colby jack cheese and replace the lid. Allow the cheese to melt, about 10-15 minutes, and then turn the slow cooker to warm and serve.

Notes

Serve with tortilla chips, regular or ridged potato chips, pretzels, and slices of french bread.
For a healthier dipping option, try it with some fresh veggies like celery or carrot sticks.
Add some spice to your dip by adding chopped jalapenos or a splash of hot sauce.
For a lightened up version, you can swap the ground beef for ground turkey, and use light versions of the cream cheese and shredded cheese.
To make in the oven, simply prepare as directed and spread the dip in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes. Top with the remaining Colby Jack cheese and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until melted.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days.
