Preparation Steps

• In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until cooked through. Drain any excess fat and set beef aside.
• Cook bacon until crisp, then drain on paper towels and crumble into small pieces.
• In the crock pot, add softened cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheddar, shredded mozzarella, cooked ground beef, crumbled bacon, diced onion, and dill pickle relish.
• Stir in ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until ingredients are well combined.
• Cover and cook on low for 1 to 2 hours, stirring once after the first hour, until the mixture is hot and cheeses are melted and smooth.
• If desired, sprinkle additional shredded cheddar on top, cover and let sit for 5 minutes to melt. Garnish with chopped chives and serve warm with crackers, toasted bread, or tortilla chips.
