The Connecticut Cheeseburger Dip is a popular appetizer that originated in the US and has become a classic recipe for parties and gatherings. It is a dip that mimics the flavors of a classic cheeseburger, with beef, pickles, mustard, and ketchup as key ingredients. This version adds some cream cheese and cheddar cheese for extra creaminess and flavor. The dip is usually served warm and can be accompanied by various dipping options to suit everyone's taste.

4.	Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
