Instructions

1. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef and diced onion until beef is browned and onions are tender, 5–7 minutes. Drain excess fat. Season with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Stir in Worcestershire sauce.

2. Add the seasoned beef mixture to a slow cooker. Stir in cream cheese, cheddar, American cheese, and evaporated milk.

3. Cover and cook on LOW for 2 hours (or HIGH for 1 hour), stirring every 30 minutes until smooth and creamy.

4. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, dill pickle relish, vinegar, sugar, and paprika.

5. Stir half of the special sauce into the dip. Taste and adjust seasoning. Keep the rest for drizzling.

6. Switch to WARM. Top the dip with diced pickles, shredded lettuce, sesame seeds, and green onions. Drizzle with remaining sauce. Serve with sesame bun crostini, waffle fries, chips, or veggies.

7. Brown beef and prep sauce up to 2 days ahead; refrigerate. On party day, cook in the slow cooker and garnish before serving.

Notes

For the smoothest texture, stir every 30 minutes as it melts. If too thick, add 1–2 tbsp evaporated milk. For gluten-free, serve with chips, fries, or veggies instead of buns.
