INGREDIENTS
Dip
2 Pound ground beef, preferably 80% lean
1 Medium yellow onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 Tablespoon Traeger Burger Rub
2 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 Pound Velveeta cheese, cut into cubes
8 Ounce cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 Cup ketchup
1/4 Cup mayonnaise
2 Tablespoon Traeger Original Hot Sauce
Topping
1 plum tomato, diced
1/4 Cup diced yellow onion
1/4 Cup diced dill pickle
1 Tablespoon dill pickle brine
Steps
1
Preheat the Traeger with the lid closed to 350°F; this will take about 10 minutes.
350 ˚F / 177 ˚C
2
Heat large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring occasionally and breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. With a slotted spoon and leaving any fat behind in the skillet, transfer the meat to a bowl and set aside.
3
Add the onion to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir to combine. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Return the ground beef to the skillet, then add the Burger Rub, Worcestershire, Velveeta, cheddar, ketchup, mayonnaise, and hot sauce. Cook, stirring, until the Velveeta has begun to melt.
4
Smooth out the dip and place the skillet directly on the grill grate. Bake until the cheese is fully melted and bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes.
350 ˚F / 177 ˚C

5
While the dip cooks, combine the topping ingredients in a small bowl.
6
Transfer the dip to a heatproof surface and top with the topping mixture. Serve with chips or veggies of your choice. Enjoy!
