Move over, 7-layer, dip. A super rich bacon cheeseburger is even better when you can enjoy it over kettle chips, crackers, or even fries. The meat and cheese combo perfectly pairs with the ketchup mixture and pickle, both in terms of taste and texture: while the ketchup and pickle add a perfect tanginess to complement the creamy richness, the cold toppings bring everything together for a perfect bite. Opt for lean ground beef since there’s enough fatty richness in the bacon and cheese.

Add ground sirloin; cook, stirring to crumble, until evenly browned, about 7 minutes. Drain and return to skillet. Stir in cream cheese, Worcestershire, and pepper until cheese is melted and ingredients are combined. 

  • Reserve 2 tablespoons of chopped bacon for garnish. Add Cheddar cheese and remaining bacon to beef mixture, and stir to combine. Pour mixture into a lightly greased 2-quart baking dish. Bake in preheated oven until golden and bubbly, about 20 minutes.
