Ingredients

16 servings

•

8 slices bacon
•

1 pound lean ground beef
•

2 tablespoons dill pickle juice
•

1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
•

1 (16 ounce) package processed American cheese, cut into cubes
•

8 ounces cream cheese

•

1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
•

1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
•

6 green onions, thinly sliced
•

1 tablespoon ketchup
•

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
•

¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (Optional)

Instructions

Place the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove bacon to a plate lined with a paper towel, retaining drippings in the skillet.
Break ground beef in pieces and add to drippings in the skillet. Cook and stir beef until completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes; drain in a colander. Rinse beef with water to wash away excess fat; drain. Transfer drained beef to a bowl. Stir pickle juice into the beef; season with salt and pepper.
Combine ground beef mixture, American cheese, cream cheese, diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, green onions, ketchup, Dijon mustard, and cayenne pepper in a slow cooker.
Cook cheese mixture on Low, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is melted completely, about 1 hour. Crumble bacon over the surface of the dip to serve.
