Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by heating a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for about 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is browned and cooked through. Make sure to drain any excess fat, keeping your dip light and delicious.
  2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring until the onion becomes translucent and aromatic.
  3. Incorporate the cream cheese, sour cream, and milk into the mixture. Stir continuously over medium heat until these ingredients melt together and form a smooth, creamy base—about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Now, gradually stir in the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese. Keep stirring until the cheeses melt completely and blend into the dip, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle in the paprika, salt, and pepper, adjusting to your taste preferences. Stir well to combine all the flavors, which will elevate your dip to new heights.
  6. Finally, fold in the crumbled bacon, allowing it to heat through for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  7. Remove the skillet from the heat and serve your Sizzling Bacon Cheeseburger Queso Dip hot. Pair it with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh veggies for dipping.
