# Instructions:
01 -
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Leave about 1 tablespoon of bacon grease in the skillet.
02 -
In the same skillet, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Add the diced onion and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion softens. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Cook for another minute. Drain excess fat if necessary.
03 -
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the diced tomatoes with green chilies and heavy cream. Add the processed cheese cubes and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir constantly until the cheese is melted and smooth. If the dip is too thick, add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
04 -
Stir in half of the cooked bacon. Transfer the queso dip to a serving dish or keep it warm in the skillet. Garnish with the remaining bacon, diced pickles, green onions, and sesame seeds if desired.
05 -
Serve the queso dip warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or veggie sticks. Enjoy the sizzling, cheesy goodness!
