Tips & Variations

For extra spice, add a few dashes of hot sauce or some diced jalapeños.

Add chopped onions or shredded lettuce on top to mimic the Big Mac’s signature crunch.

Storage

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup Velveeta cheese, cubed
1/4 cup diced dill pickles

Dip Sauce

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp yellow mustard
1 tbsp pickle juice

Seasonings

1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Brown the ground beef: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef, seasoning it with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook thoroughly until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Once done, drain off any excess grease to prevent a greasy dip.
Combine ingredients in the crockpot: Transfer the cooked ground beef to the crockpot. Add the shredded cheddar cheese, cubed Velveeta cheese, diced dill pickles, mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, and pickle juice. Stir everything well to ensure an even mixture.
Cook on low: Set your crockpot to the LOW setting and cook the dip for 2 to 3 hours. Stir the dip occasionally during cooking to help the cheeses melt evenly and to prevent sticking.
Warm and serve: Once the dip is melted, creamy, and bubbly, switch your crockpot setting to WARM to keep it at serving temperature. Serve the dip directly from the crockpot to keep the warm temperature consistent.
Optional garnish: For an extra touch of authenticity and presentation, garnish the dip with sesame seeds, shredded lettuce, or additional diced pickles just before serving.

Notes

Use Velveeta cheese for smooth melting texture; regular cheese alone might not melt as creamy.
Pickle juice adds a tangy kick that mimics the Big Mac sauce flavor—don’t skip it.
Drain the cooked ground beef well to avoid a greasy dip.
If desired, for added heat, sprinkle some red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños.
Serve with tortilla chips, pita chips, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
