Bacon Cheeseburger Queso Dip

1. Cook the Bacon & Beef

• Cook bacon until just crisp, then drain on paper towels and crumble.
• In the same skillet, brown ground beef in the leftover bacon fat for extra flavor.
• Drain all grease thoroughly—grease can ruin the dip’s texture.
• Stir in taco seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute. Set aside.

2. Melt the Cheese Base

• • In a clean saucepan, melt cream cheese gently over low heat.
  • Whisk in sour cream and warm milk until smooth and silky.
  • Remove from heat, then add cheddar and mozzarella in batches, stirring until melted.

3. Combine & Finish

• Gently fold beef and bacon into the cheese mixture.
• Let rest for 5 minutes—this helps flavors meld and texture set.
• Transfer to a pre-warmed cast iron skillet.
• Garnish with parsley and extra bacon.
