Big Mac Cheeseburger Dip is everybody’s favorite burger (that’s subjective, but it has a pretty damn good reputation) transformed into a dippable appetizer. Low carb and full of flavor, this is an easy crowd pleaser for cookouts, football parties or just a Saturday afternoon.
Ok, so we all have our own quirky little cheeseburger ways.
I love any cheeseburger, any time of the day.
Well, I say that but there are certain condiments that must be on my burger or I won’t be real happy.
At the very least cheese, mayo, and pickles.
When I make my own, it generally has more stuff packed on it that a lot of times a fork is required, like here, here and here.
Look, I love a lot of shit on mine; it’s how I’m designed.
Even though I’m pretty particular and will always choose grilling a burger at home over getting a burger out, I’ve always had a special place in my heart for Big Macs, obviously the inspiration behind this dip.
I can remember being 17-years-old, and although I absolutely loved Big Macs, sometimes I would feel so guilty eating them (I thought I was a little too chunky at the time) that I would negotiate with myself and NOT get the fries, thinking that would make it ok.
Of course, then I wouldn’t get to actually enjoy it because I didn’t have the fries to dip in my very favorite mixture of mayonnaise and ketchup.
That’s the whole package.
My 17-year-old self was such a moron.
Have you noticed that as good as Burger King’s burgers have always been, the fries don’t quite measure up to McDonald’s? They just never have; McDonald’s seems to have locked that down.
This dip has all the taste of a Big Mac, in appetizer form. And it’s really easy to make.
You will notice I didn’t add pickles, but put them on top. You can do either, or both if you’re a pickle fanatic.

What a fantastic idea! My hubby is a huge Big Mac lover too so I think he will be super excited. Are those just the tortilla scoopers you are using as a chip?
Great idea! It looks delicious!
