Do you know what every party needs?
Dip.
This is especially true for football parties. Even if you don’t have a party, a tasty dip makes the perfect snack while watching football.
Game days are for grazing, seriously.
My husband and I love enjoying a meal of appetizers and party snacks while watching the Packers play. Bonus if there is cheese involved, considering Wisconsin is known for its cheeseheads. (No, I don’t own a cheesehead hat, but I do love me some cheese.)
Don’t be surprised if your guests gobble up this bacon cheeseburger dip first while the rest of the party food wonders why they are being picked last!

Ingredients
8 oz. block of cream cheese
½ Cup sour cream
¼ Cup tomato sauce
⅛ Cup BBQ sauce
¼ Pound ground beef
6 Strips bacon, uncooked
1 Cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
¼ Cup tomatoes, chopped
¼ Cup chives, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
First, chop your bacon strips and cook them in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook until crispy, then set aside.
In the same saucepan, cook the ground beef over medium heat. Add salt and pepper.
Once your ground beef is browned, reduce to low heat.
Add cream cheese, sour cream, 1 cup of shredded cheese, and tomatoes to the saucepan. Stir all the ingredients together for about two minutes.
Next, add tomato sauce and BBQ sauce. (Want a little more kick to your taste buds? Add some hot sauce! ) Cook and stir for two more minutes.
Stir in the bacon (reserving a few strips for garnish) then transfer everything to a bowl.
Top your delicious bacon cheeseburger dip with chives, shredded cheese, and bacon.
Serve with crackers, chips, or pretzels and enjoy!
You know what I didn’t try, but I think would taste amazing? Dipping fresh baked beer bread into this delicious bad boy. Heck, I might ditch the dippers altogether and just grab myself a spoon.
What are your go-to game time snacks?
