Ingredients

2 fluid ounces lager beer at room temperature, or more if needed
10 ounces freshly grated sharp Cheddar cheese
½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
½ tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons dry mustard powder (such as Colman's®)

Ranch dressing mix flavors this easy dip packed with shredded cheese. It's perfect paired with pretzels. Be forewarned, though-it's hard to stop eating once you've started! The beer cheese dip can be made with any type of beer, including nonalcoholic. I've taken it to many parties and I am always asked for the recipe. -Michelle Long, New Castle, Colorado

Yield about 2 cups of beer cheese dip

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

6 ounces lager beer
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
4 ounces cream cheese
4 ounces Monterey jack cheese, grated
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated
Pinch cayenne
Pinch garlic powder
Kosher salt

Steps:

Bring the lager, mustard powder and Worcestershire sauce to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, then reduce the heat to low. Add the cream cheese and cook, whisking, until melted and smooth. Gradually add handfuls of the cheeses, whisking to melt between each addition; do not let the mixture boil. Cook, whisking, until completely smooth, then add the cayenne and garlic powder and season with salt to taste. Serve warm or at room temperature; the sauce will thicken as it cools.
