Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Ground sausage
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Beer (lager or ale)
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Onion powder
- 0.5 tsp Hot sauce
- 2 tbsp Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 1 package Crackers, pretzels, or sliced bread (for serving)
Instructions
In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Break it into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, combine the softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir frequently until the cheeses melt together and form a smooth mixture.
Slowly pour in the beer, stirring constantly to incorporate. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
Stir in the garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, and hot sauce. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Add the cooked sausage to the cheese mixture and stir to combine. Allow the dip to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with sliced green onions.
Serve warm with crackers, pretzels, or sliced bread on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
