Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Sharp Cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.25 cups Beer (lager or pale ale)
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Shred the sharp cheddar cheese into small pieces using a box grater or food processor. Allow the cheese and cream cheese to come to room temperature for easier blending.
In a food processor, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and beer. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Add the garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the mixture in the food processor.
Blend again until all the spices are evenly incorporated, and the texture is smooth and spreadable. Adjust seasoning to taste, if desired.
Transfer the cheese spread to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled or at room temperature with your choice of crackers, pretzels, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping. Enjoy!
