Beer Cheese Dip
Stovetop beer cheese dip in 10 minutes or less? Yes, please! Combine your favorite beer and cheese with just a few basic ingredients you probably already have! Yum!
Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter (half stick)
- ¼ cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup half and half
- 1 cup beer
- 2 Tbsp Worcesteshire sauce
- 4 oz shredded cheese
Instructions
- Melt butter in a 2-3 quart sauce pan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and continue to cook for at least one minute while whisking.
- Continue to whisk as you add in the half and half, followed by the beer and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer until thickened (about 2-4 minutes) whisking the entire time.
- Slowly stir in the shredded cheese. Taste the beer cheese dip. Add a bit of salt if needed. Serve with pretzel bites, crusty bread, or tortilla chips! Yum!
Notes
- We love to use Hawaiian beer after we tried beer cheese dip in Maui. It has a lighter flavor. For a more traditional beer cheese, use Guinness.
- Use cheddar cheese such as sharp or triple cheddar blend. Gruyere, Swiss, or gouda would also be delicious!
- We prefer the flavors combined in this beer cheese dip recipe, but if you're looking to kick it up a notch, a 1/4 tsp of garlic powder, paprika, and/or chili powder are great add ins!
- If the dip thickens up too much, add a bit more half and half or milk.
