Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, cubed
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons prepared mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 medium tomato, chopped
1/4 cup chopped dill pickles

Directions

In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium-high heat until beef is no longer pink and onion is tender, breaking up beef into crumbles, 6-8 minutes; drain. Transfer to a greased 1-1/2- or 3-qt. slow cooker. Stir in the cream cheese, 1-1/2 cups cheddar cheese, Worcestershire, mustard, salt and pepper. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Cook, covered, on low until heated through and cheese is melted, 1-3/4-2-1/4 hours. Top with tomatoes and pickles. Serve with tortilla chips.

Test Kitchen tips

Keep an eye on the dip toward the end of cooking. If it goes too long, the edges will get dark.
