Beer Cheese Dip

There is nothing more fun than appetizers. They are the life of every party and what my guests look forward to the most when they come to my house. Whether it’s the holidays or the big game, when I’m planning a get-together, appetizers are my favorite thing to make.

Today I’ve combined three favorites into one incredible dip (or spread!): cheese, beer, and bacon.

5 SECRETS TO GETTING DINNER ON THE TABLE...FAST!

This recipe is quite possibly the easiest recipe on my site because you literally dump a bunch of ingredients into your food processor and let ‘er rip.

What’s In Cold Beer Cheese Dip?

Well, you probably guess the beer and cheese part 🙂 I also added some garlic and other seasonings to give this dip maximum flavor while still highlighting the beer and cheese flavors. Please feel free to add or substitute your favorites to this recipe – but don’t forget the bacon!

  1. sharp cheddar cheese – use the food processor to grate the cheese
  2. cottage cheese I used Friendship Dairies Cottage Cheese for this recipe. The cottage cheese makes it nice and creamy and adds a little tang.
  3. garlic
  4. ground mustard
  5. onion powder
  6. smoked paprika
  7. Worcestershire sauce
  8. hot sauce – optional, you could also add a little cayenne pepper
  9. beer or ale – please use a beer or ale that you actually like to drink! You can taste the beer in this Beer Cheese Dip so it’s important you like the flavor profile of the beer you use.
  10. bacon – I used about 3 slices in this dip and reserved a tablespoon or so for garnish.

beer-cheese-dip-recipe-with-bacon

The recipe below calls for a half a cup of beer or ale. This gives the consistency of a dip OR spread. If you would like it to be thinner, just add a tablespoon or two more beer.

I used the whipped 1% milkfat cottage cheese for this beer cheese dip but also tested the recipe using 4% small curd and 1% small curd and it worked beautifully so use what you prefer. The food processor will puree it so it really doesn’t matter too much.

Beer Cheese Dip Dippers

When it comes to dips, it’s all about the dippers, amiright? With a recipe like this Beer Cheese Dip you can go in all sorts of directions and since I’m a big fan of options, I went all in. Here are a few ideas:

  • Pretzel Sticks or Rods
  • Pretzel Crisps
  • Bread Sticks
  • Carrots

I really hope you give this easy Beer Cheese Dip recipe a try! It’s sure to be a hit for next game day!
