Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Brown the Ground Beef and Onion: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is fully browned and the onion is softened. Drain off any excess grease.
- Combine Sauce Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the dill pickle relish, mayonnaise, ketchup, yellow mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined. This forms the signature Big Mac-inspired sauce.
- Mix Everything in the Slow Cooker: Add the browned ground beef and onion mixture to your slow cooker. Pour the prepared sauce over the beef and stir to coat everything evenly.
- Add the Cream Cheese: Distribute the softened cream cheese cubes evenly over the meat and sauce mixture in the slow cooker.
- Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 2-3 hours, or on high for 1-1.5 hours, stirring occasionally until the cream cheese is fully melted and the dip is heated through and creamy.
- Add the Cheeses: Once the cream cheese is melted and incorporated, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese until they are melted and the dip is wonderfully cheesy.
- Serve: Stir the dip one last time. Serve the Cheesy Slow Cooker Big Mac Dip warm with your favorite dippables like tortilla chips, potato chips, celery sticks, pretzel bites, or slider buns. Garnish with optional toppings like shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sesame seeds, or extra diced pickles for that authentic Big Mac flair.
