Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 6 ounces beer
  • 8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese (I prefer extra sharp)
  • 2 teaspoons dry mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  • Place the cream cheese and beer in a small pot over low heat.
  • When the cream cheese has softened, break it up into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon, then whisk the mixture until smooth.
  • Add a little of the shredded cheddar cheese at a time, whisking until each addition has fully melted and incorporated before adding the next.
  • Whisk in the dry mustard and garlic powder.

Notes

Can be served hot or chilled.  As the dip cools, it becomes stiffer and more like a spread.
