• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Sauté the ground beef, white or yellow onion and garlic in a pan over medium heat; drain the grease from the pan and place ground beef mixture in large bowl.
• Cook the bacon in the pan until crispy, about 6-10 minutes, remove from pan to a plate; pat bacon with a paper towel to remove grease. Add bacon to ground beef mixture.
• In a large bowl, add softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, mozzarella, cheddar, Worcestershire sauce and ketchup to the ground beef and bacon mixture and pour it into a 9x13x2-inch baking dish. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F. oven until the top starts turning a light golden brown and the sides are bubbling, about 20-30 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve immediately with small toasted sliced baguettes or your favorite chips.

Note: If you want you can add shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes to the top of the Bacon Cheeseburger Dip once it has come out of the oven and then have everyone dig in. Be sure to wear protective gear or stay out of the way of your guests as they attack this winning dip!
