Ingredients

Scale

Meat

  • 1 lb ground beef

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup Velveeta cheese, cubed

Vegetables and Pickles

  • 1/4 cup diced dill pickles

Condiments and Seasonings

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard
  • 1 tbsp pickle juice
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, seasoning with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir frequently to break up the meat and cook thoroughly. Once browned and no longer pink, drain any excess grease to prevent the dip from being too oily.
  2. Combine ingredients in crockpot: Transfer the cooked ground beef to the slow cooker. Add the shredded cheddar, cubed Velveeta, diced pickles, mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, and pickle juice. Stir well to evenly combine all ingredients.
  3. Cook on low: Set the crockpot to LOW heat. Allow the mixture to cook for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally to help the cheeses melt evenly and prevent sticking to the sides.
  4. Switch to warm and serve: Once the dip is melted and creamy, switch the slow cooker to the WARM setting. This keeps the dip at a perfect serving temperature ready for guests.
  5. Optional garnish: Before serving, you can top the dip with sesame seeds, shredded lettuce, or additional diced pickles to further evoke the classic Big Mac flavors and add freshness and texture.

Notes

  • For a lower-fat version, use lean ground beef and reduced-fat cheeses.
  • If you prefer a thicker dip, reduce the amount of pickle juice slightly.
  • Serve with sturdy chips like tortilla or pita chips or sliced vegetables for dipping.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the slow cooker or microwave.
  • Simplify prep by browning the beef directly in the slow cooker using the sauté feature if available.
