BEER CHEESE DIP



Beer Cheese Dip image

Made with lager, sharp Cheddar, and nutty Gruyère, this beer cheese is perfect for game day or any casual get-together.

Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup lager beer (see note)
1½ cups half & half
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Scant ½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 oz (1 cup) shredded Cheddar cheese
4 oz (1 cup) shredded Gruyère cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until the flour is completely absorbed. Continue cooking, whisking constantly, for 1 minute.
  • While whisking constantly, slowly pour in the beer and half & half. Whisk in the mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking constantly, then reduce to a simmer and continue cooking, whisking frequently, until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 3 minutes.
  • With the heat on low, add the cheeses a handful at a time, whisking between each addition, until the cheese is fully melted before adding more. Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle with fresh chives, if using. Serve immediately.
  • Leftover beer cheese can be covered and refrigerated in an airtight container. Reheat gently on the stovetop over medium-low heat, whisking frequently, until warmed through.
  • Note: Lager is a family of beers that includes bright lagers, amber lagers, dark lagers, Oktoberfests, and pilsners. I used Fat Tire because that what I had in the house, but Budweiser, Bud Light, Coors Light, and Miller Lite are all good options. No need to use anything fancy!

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 7

32 ounces processed cheese food (such as Velveeta®), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 cup Irish stout beer (such as Guinness®)
½ cup salsa
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Heat cheese in slow cooker on High until melted, about 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality beer. The flavor of the beer will come through in the dip, so it's important to use a beer that you enjoy drinking. If you're not sure what kind of beer to use, try a light lager or a pale ale.
  • Shred your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese is often coated with cellulose, which can make it less smooth and creamy. Shredding your own cheese will give you a much better result.
  • Don't overcook the dip. The cheese should be melted and smooth, but it shouldn't be rubbery. Cook the dip over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve the dip with your favorite dippers. Some popular options include tortilla chips, pretzels, vegetables, and bread.

Conclusion:

Cantina Beer Cheese Dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It's cheesy, flavorful, and sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack, give Cantina Beer Cheese Dip a try. You won't be disappointed!
