Cheesy Hamburger Dip is a rich creamy cheesy dip with all of your favorite burger flavors. It is topped with even more sharp cheddar cheese, then baked until hot and bubbly. Serve it alongside other favorite appetizers like Buffalo chicken dip for the perfect party spread!
This hamburger dip has brought a new addition to our appetizer recipe roster; it’s so cheesy, loaded with flavor and everyone goes crazy for it.
I am so excited to have partnered with Cabot Cheese to bring you this easy hot cheese dip recipe.
Cheesy Hamburger Dip
I love a good juicy burger… and what better on a burger than a slice of cheddar cheese? If you’re looking for the best cheddar flavor, sharp is the way to go! A good melty cheddar cheese is obviously the best burger topping (along with pickles of course)!
As much as I love a juicy cheeseburger on a sesame seed bun, I think I love this scoopable Cheesy Hamburger Dip even more! It is loaded with the best burger flavors, pickle, bacon and of course heaps of Seriously Sharp Cheddar Cheese adds loads of bold cheddar flavor.
Cabot is celebrating their 100th anniversary as a co-op this year and what better way to celebrate than with this cheesy game day dip! Cabot Cheese is owned by 1,000 farm families throughout New England and New York and all proceeds are funnelled directly back to the farmers. ❤️
Cheesy Hamburger Dip can be made ahead for any potluck or party and everyone loves the flavors in this dip! I prep this this cheeseburger dip in the morning (or even the night before) and pop it in the oven when my guests arrive. By halftime, you will have a hot cheesy dip that is ready to be devoured. Serve it alongside cheddar sesame crackers (or tortilla chips)!
To make Cheddar Sesame Crackers: simply cut circles (or shapes) out of tortillas, brush with butter and sprinkle with a generous serving of Seriously Sharp Cheddar and bake until golden or crisp. This can be done 3 days ahead of time!
How To Make Hamburger Dip
There are few things better than a good cheese dip, including this juicy cheeseburger dip! The secret to a cream cheese based dip is using a hand mixer to combine the base. This adds air into the cream cheese making it creamy and easy to scoop! I’ve added in my favorite burger flavors in this recipe, if you have toppings you love, add them in… minced onion, yellow mustard, relish, steak spice are all great in this recipe!
To make this Cheesy Hamburger Dip:
- Brown ground beef
- Combine Cabot Cream Cheese and mix-ins
- Stir in Seriously Sharp Cheddar Cheese
- Top with more cheddar cheese and bacon
- Bake until hot and bubbly and cheese is melted
Chopped lettuce, pickles and diced tomatoes are great toppings for this hamburger dip. If you’re a fan of Jalapeno Popper Dip, add a few diced jalapenos to the mix!
Can You Freeze Cream Cheese Dips
Yes, you sure can! If you happen to have any leftovers, this dip is perfect to freeze and save for a snack another day! It’s also great to make into stuffed mushrooms (just fill and bake) or even to spread on toast!

When do you add the cream cheese mixture? Is it layered over the meat before the final cheese and bacon?
The ground beef is added to the cream cheese mixture in step 4.
This looks delicious. Can’t wait to try this! Thanks for sharing.
Let me know how you like it!
Wish I knew exact measurements. How much meat to cream cheese? Cook on what temp?
You can find the full recipe on this page, the Cheesy Hamburger Dip page, Kristie. Hope that helps!
This looks really good! Looking forward to making it.
Enjoy Jacynda!
And now I realized that the recipe tells you to add 1/2 of the bacon with the cheese. But it never mentions what to do with the other 1/2. Does it go on top before baking? On top after baking is complete? Hmmmmmm…..
Yes, it is added on top of the dip before baking.
This recipe is missing something. What do you do with the drained ground beef? Is it layered or mixed in with the cheese, bacon and whipped ingredients? Trying to make it right now……
Step 4 says to fold the ground beef with the cheese and bacon. Hope that helps Judi!
