Cheeseburger Bowl Dip

Submitted by CookingONTheSide

"This dip looks delicious. I plan on making it for this year's Super Bowl. Go Steelers! Note: Ground turkey can be substituted for the ground beef. Bowl dip mixture can be spooned onto the rolls for a group meal alternative. I got this recipe from a newspaper article."
