Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup beer (lager works well)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch of black pepper
- Chips, pretzels, or vegetable sticks for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, beer, flour, onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix well until everything combines.
- Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly around the edges.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before serving warm with your favorite dippers.
Notes
- You can use any type of sturdy beer, but a less hoppy lager keeps the flavor focused on the cheese.
- For an extra layer of flavor, stir in 1/4 cup of cooked, crumbled bacon before baking.
- If the dip thickens too much while sitting out, stir in a tablespoon of warm beer to loosen it up.
