Beer Cheese Dip
Warm, creamy beer cheese dip loaded with sharp cheddar, cream cheese, and a splash of your favorite beer. This pub-style appetizer comes together in minutes and is perfect for game day – serve with soft pretzels, toasted bread, or fresh veggies for dipping.
Ingredients
- 3 – 6 slices of Bacon, finely diced
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 2 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Beer
- 1/2 cup Whole Milk
- 2 cup White Cheddar Cheese
- 1 cup Sharp Yellow Cheddar Cheese
- 4 oz Cream Cheese
- 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 1/2 tsp Onion Powder
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tbsp Chopped Chives
Instructions
- In a medium-sized cast-iron pan, cook diced bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon, discard the fat, and set aside.
- In the same pan over medium heat, add flour and unsalted butter. Whisk to combine and continue stirring frequently for three minutes until the roux is activated.
- Pour in the beer, stirring, and let it simmer for 2 minutes. Stir often and adjust the heat for a gentle simmer. After 2 minutes, add the milk and continue simmering for an additional 2 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and add cream cheese and shredded cheeses. Stir until melted and combined, approximately 2 minutes.
- Incorporate Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and chopped chives. Stir well.
- Sprinkle the reserved bacon over the cheese sauce. Serve immediately or transfer to a fondue or warming pot to keep it warm and melted. Enjoy the dip with fresh pretzels, corn chips, or grilled sausage.
