Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 2 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Beer (lager or ale)
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp Paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
1. Place the cream cheese in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently until softened and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
2. Gradually pour in the beer, whisking constantly to create a smooth mixture. Allow it to gently warm for 1-2 minutes.
3. Slowly incorporate the shredded cheddar cheese, adding one handful at a time and whisking until melted before adding more. Continue until all the cheese is fully melted and the dip is creamy, about 5 minutes.
4. Stir in garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
5. Once the dip is heated through and well-blended, transfer it to a serving dish or a small slow cooker set to 'warm' to keep it hot.
6. Optionally, sprinkle paprika on top for garnish before serving.
7. Serve immediately with soft pretzels, chips, or fresh vegetables. Enjoy!
