### **Instructions:**
1. **Cook the Bacon:**
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on paper towels to drain. Leave a tablespoon of bacon fat in the pan.
2. **Brown the Beef:**
In the same skillet, add ground beef and onion. Cook until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain excess grease, then stir in garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
3. **Add the Flavor:**
Stir in the drained tomatoes with chilies, ketchup, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine the classic cheeseburger taste.
4. **Melt the Cheese:**
Lower the heat to medium-low. Add the Velveeta cubes, shredded cheddar, and milk or cream. Stir constantly until everything is melted and smooth.
5. **Finish with Bacon:**
Stir in most of the crispy bacon, saving a little for topping. Adjust seasoning if needed.
6. **Serve Hot:**
Pour into a serving bowl or a mini slow cooker to keep warm. Top with remaining bacon and optional garnishes like chopped pickles or green onions.
