Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup beer
  • 1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1/2 tablespoon stone ground mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon worcestershire
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • salt and pepper
  • chives garnish

Instructions

  • Add heavy cream to a small saucepan and cook over medium heat.
  • Slowly add in beer and stir to combine.
  • Continue to stir while adding stone ground mustard, garlic powder, paprika, worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce till combined.
  • Move saucepan off the heat to a cool burner and mix in the cheddar cheese and mozzarella until creamy. Sprinkle in salt and pepper.
  • Serve beer cheese immediately with your favorite dippers or pour as a cheese sauce onto chips or pasta.

Notes

  • Beer Cheese will thicken as it cools. If you want the cheese dip thicker, start by adding 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and stirring. Until the desired level of thickness is reached.
  • Different cheeses can be swapped out for different flavors. I used a sharp cheddar in this recipe, but you could try cheeses such as smoked gouda, extra sharp cheddar, or a pepper jack.
  • The cooked beer cheese dip can be poured into an oven proof cast iron skillet and broil for browned top layer of cheese. Keep a constant eye on it as it will brown very quickly.
