So I was just on face book and someone had shared some recipe from Hormel for a Cheeseburger Dip. I thought mmm that sounds so good. So I go look..... And my thought is OMG artificial cheese and meat products?????? ICK. I can do better than that!  So I wrote this recipe. 

 

 

Cheeseburger Dip

 

1/2 onion diced (about 1/2 cup)
4 cloves of garlic minced
2 tablespoons of butter
2 tablespoons of flour
1 cup of milk
6 cups of shredded cheese, can use any combination of Longhorn cheddar and Monterrey Jack
2 plum tomatoes, peeled and diced. scoop out seeds and just use flesh of the tomato (about 1 cup, can use canned if tomatoes aren’t in season, drain well)
1/2 cup of sour cream

4 slices of bacon, browned, drained and crumbled

¼ lb ground beef, browned and drained on a paper towel

1/4 - 1/2 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce ( optional )
Salt to taste

 

Method:

Cook bacon and ground beef. Drain on paper towels to remove most of the grease. Crumble bacon and set aside.
 Melt the butter in a saucepan on medium-low heat, and then cook the onions for about five minutes or until onions are translucent.
 Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
 Whisk the flour into the butter, vegetable mix and cook for about 30 seconds.
 Add the milk to the pot, and cook on medium, whisking constantly until sauce is thick, about five minutes.
 Turn heat down to low, and a 1/4-cup at a time, slowly add the shredded cheese stirring into the white sauce until completely melted. Repeat.
 Stir in the sour cream, tomatoes, bacon, ground beef and Worcestershire Sauce.
 Add salt to taste. Serve with bread or chips or crackers.

Serves four.
