Make this rich, creamy beer cheese dip quickly. It tastes like pub food and pairs well with soft pretzels, chips, or vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup beer (lager or pale ale recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Pinch of salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the shredded cheddar cheese and cream cheese in a medium saucepan over low heat.
  2. Slowly whisk in the beer, a little at a time, stirring constantly until the cheeses begin to melt and combine smoothly. Do not let the mixture boil.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Whisk the flour mixture into the cheese and beer base until the sauce is smooth and thickened.
  5. Continue to cook over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the dip reaches your desired consistency.
  6. Remove from heat and serve warm immediately with soft pretzels, chips, or vegetable sticks.

Notes

  • For a spicier dip, add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper with the dry seasonings.
  • If the dip thickens too much while serving, whisk in a tablespoon of extra beer or milk to reach a smooth consistency.
  • Use a sharp, good-quality cheddar for the best flavor in this cheese dip recipe.
