Cook Time

Pellets

Mesquite

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

Preheat the Traeger with the lid closed to 350°F; this will take about 10 minutes.

350 ˚F / 177 ˚C

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.

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.

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

00:15

While the dip cooks, combine the topping ingredients in a small bowl.

Transfer the dip to a heatproof surface and top with the topping mixture. Serve with chips or veggies of your choice. Enjoy!
