Ingredients

Rolls and Dip:

10 slices bacon, chopped

24 ounces ground sirloin

2 teaspoons seasoned salt

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 cup ketchup

1/4 cup mustard

4 dashes Worcestershire sauce

1 pound cream cheese, softened

8 ounces grated Cheddar

18 frozen dinner rolls, thawed and risen according to package instructions

4 tablespoons salted butter, melted

2 tablespoons minced garlic

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Toppings:

2 tablespoons ketchup

2 tablespoons mustard

1 cup shredded lettuce

1/4 cup pickle chips

1 tomato, diced

Directions

  1. For the rolls and dip: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate, then discard all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease from the skillet.
  3. Put the sirloin in the skillet and add the seasoned salt and pepper. Cook, stirring and breaking it up with a spatula or wooden spoon, until the meat is browned and no longer pink, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain the meat of excess fat, add the ketchup, mustard and Worcestershire sauce and stir to incorporate.
  4. Place a round baking dish in the center of a baking sheet. Spread the cream cheese in a single layer in the baking dish, then sprinkle over half of the Cheddar cheese. Add the meat mixture in a single layer and top with half of the reserved bacon, followed by the remaining Cheddar cheese.
  5. Space the rolls 1 to 2 inches apart on a separate baking sheet. Combine the butter and garlic in a small bowl and brush the rolls with the mixture. Sprinkle over the sesame seeds.
  6. Bake both the dip and the rolls until the dip is bubbly around the edges and the rolls are golden and baked through, 15 to 18 minutes.
  7. For the toppings: Top the dip with the ketchup, mustard, remaining bacon, lettuce, pickles and tomatoes. Serve hot.

After trying Ree's recipe, it just tasted weird to every single person at our huge party. If you want a much better recipe for Cheeseburger Dip, then please try Eddie Jackson's version on this site because it's so MUCH better. Made it for a Super Bowl party, and the same group of friends loved it so much more than her version. Try his instead!
