Beer Cheese Dip

Cost: $

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.
