- 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
For the Rolls:
- 18 frozen dinner rolls, thawed and risen according to package instructions
- 4 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
For the Toppings:
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- Reserved crispy bacon
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/4 cup pickle chips
- 1 tomato, diced
How To Make Pioneer Woman Bacon Cheeseburger Dip
- Prep and cook bacon: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy, about 8 to 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease from the skillet.
- Cook the ground beef: Add the ground sirloin to the skillet with the reserved bacon grease. Sprinkle with the seasoned salt and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat, breaking the meat up with a spoon, until it is browned and no longer pink, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Season the meat and layer the dip: Drain any excess fat from the meat. Stir in the 1/2 cup of ketchup, 1/4 cup of mustard, and the Worcestershire sauce. In a round baking dish, spread the softened cream cheese in an even layer. Sprinkle half of the grated Cheddar over the cream cheese. Top with the meat mixture, then half of the crispy bacon, and finally the remaining Cheddar cheese.
- Prepare the rolls: Arrange the thawed and risen dinner rolls on a separate baking sheet, spaced 1 to 2 inches apart. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter and minced garlic. Brush this mixture over the tops of the rolls, then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake the dip and rolls: Place both the baking sheet with the rolls and the baking dish with the dip into the preheated oven. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the dip is hot and bubbly around the edges and the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Add toppings and serve: Carefully remove the dip from the oven. Top it with a drizzle of ketchup and mustard, the remaining crispy bacon, shredded lettuce, pickle chips, and diced tomato. Serve the hot dip immediately with the warm garlic butter rolls.
Recipe Tips
- How to get the perfect dip consistency: Using softened cream cheese is key. It allows you to spread it easily into an even layer, which forms the perfect creamy base for the dip.
- Can I make this dip ahead of time? Yes. You can fully assemble the dip (without the final toppings) up to a day in advance. Cover and refrigerate. When ready to serve, bake as directed, adding 5-10 minutes to the baking time to ensure it’s heated through. Prepare and bake the rolls fresh.
- How to prevent a greasy dip: Use a leaner ground sirloin (90/10 is great) and be sure to drain the excess fat from both the bacon and the ground beef before assembling the dip.
- What if I don’t have frozen rolls? You can use a package of pull-apart dinner rolls (like Hawaiian rolls) instead. Simply arrange them on the baking sheet, brush with the garlic butter, and bake until golden.
What To Serve With Bacon Cheeseburger Dip
While the recipe includes delicious garlic butter rolls for dipping, this dip is also fantastic with:
- Tortilla chips or sturdy corn chips (like Fritos)
- Pretzels, both hard and soft
- Sturdy crackers
- Celery and carrot sticks
How To Store Bacon Cheeseburger Dip
Refrigerate: Scrape off the fresh toppings (lettuce, tomato). Store the leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat: For best results, reheat the dip in a 350°F oven until hot and bubbly. You can also microwave it, stirring occasionally.

FAQs
Can I make this in a slow cooker?
Yes. Cook the bacon and beef on the stovetop as directed. Layer the cream cheese, cheddar, meat mixture, bacon, and more cheddar in a slow cooker. Cook on low for 2-3 hours, until hot and bubbly. Add the fresh toppings just before serving.
Is this dip spicy?
No, this dip is savory and cheesy. For a spicy version, you could stir in some chopped pickled jalapeños with the meat mixture or add a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce.
Can I use ground turkey instead of beef?
Absolutely. Ground turkey is a great leaner alternative. Since it has less fat, you may want to be a little more generous with the seasonings to ensure a rich flavor.
