Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz low-fat cream cheese
- 1 cup plain low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 cup light shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup beer
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 0.25 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the low-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Stir until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
Slowly pour in the beer while continuing to stir, ensuring the mixture stays smooth.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the saucepan, one handful at a time, allowing it to melt completely before adding more. Stir continuously.
Once all the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy, reduce the heat to low.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Continue to heat the mixture on low, stirring occasionally, for about 5 more minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with pretzels, slices of artisan bread, or assorted vegetables, and enjoy your low-fat indulgence.
