Step-by-Step Instructions for Cheeseburger Queso Dip
  1. In a large skillet, cook 1 pound of ground beef over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat, then stir in taco seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 8 ounces of cream cheese, stirring frequently for about 3-5 minutes until smooth. Mix in 1 cup of sour cream and ½ cup of milk until silky.
  3. Gradually add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, stirring until each addition melts completely, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Fold in the cooked ground beef and ½ cup of crumbled bacon. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly.
  5. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and serve immediately while warm. Pair with dippers like tortilla chips.
