This recipe uses simple ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen right now. The mix of cream cheese and cheddar makes it extra creamy and easy to scoop. Here’s what you’ll need to make your own baked cream cheese dip:

• Ground beef: Cooked and crumbled to create the classic cheeseburger base.
• Cream cheese: Softened cream cheese makes the dip smooth and rich.
• Cheddar cheese: Adds bold flavor and melts perfectly on top.
• Diced tomatoes with green chilis: Adds moisture and a mild kick. Drain well.
• Onion: Finely chopped so it blends right into the dip.

• Ketchup: Brings that familiar cheeseburger sweetness.
• Mustard: Adds tang without overpowering the dip.
• Dill pickles: Adds crunch and that classic cheeseburger bite.

How to Make Crab Dip with Corn

This easy appetizer comes together quickly and is beginner-friendly. Just follow these quick and easy instructions and you’ll be enjoying your baked dip in no time!

Start by preheating your oven and preparing a baking dish to cook your dip in. Then, in a large bowl, mix the cooked ground beef, softened cream cheese, one cup of shredded cheddar, tomatoes, onion, seasoning salt, ketchup, mustard, and chopped pickles.

Spread the mixture evenly into the baking dish. To help keep the dip from sticking to the sides as it bakes, try spraying the dish with nonstick cooking spray first.

Top with the remaining cheese and bake until hot and bubbly. Garnish with extra pickles, chopped tomatoes, ketchup, and mustard before serving, if desired.

But if you want this recipe to be a completely gluten free appetizer, you may need come up with some safe dipping options. These gluten free dippers are a great choice when enjoying your crab dip:

• Chips: You can’t go wrong when enjoying dip with chips. And since most varieties are gluten free, you have several options to choose from, including classic potato chips, tortilla chips, and corn chips.
• Gluten free crackers: Another great choice for dipping in your crab dip are gluten free crackers. I love Good Thins corn crackers, and I’m sure they’d pair well with this dip.

Corn and Crab Dip Recipe Substitutions

One of the best things about this easy baked cheeseburger dip is how simple it is to customize. These swaps make it easy to adjust the recipe without losing flavor.

• Try ground turkey instead of beef. Ground turkey is a lighter option and still works well. Season it well for the best flavor.
• Swap the cheese.. Colby Jack, American cheese, Monterrey Jack, or a cheese blend all melt nicely in a baked dip.
• Add cooked bacon. Bacon turns this into a bacon cheeseburger dip with extra flavor.
• Adjust the toppings. Just like you can adjust the toppings on your burger, you can also adjust the toppings in your dip. Leave out the tomatoes, onions, or pickles. Or add in your favorite burger toppings!
