Cook, while breaking apart into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until lightly browned and no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat. Spread the cream cheese to fill the bottom of a 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Top with ½ of the shredded cheese, the cooked ground beef, then the remaining shredded cheese on top. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until the edges are bubbly.  Let cool slightly, about 10 minutes.   For the special sauce: In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, garlic and onion powders, smoked paprika, and pickle brine.   Top the dip with lettuce, tomato, red onion, and pickle slices.
