Warm Beer Cheese Dip
ANy ideas for a cheesey beer flavored spicy cheese dip…and how to make it?
Having a girls night tonight and on the menu I have-7 layer taco dip, cup cakes, and I wanted to make a cheesey foundue type dip for bread and veggies. My husband and I go to the melting pot alot and they have a really good beer and cheese foundue. I know I want to use cheddar cheese and my husband always has yuengling in the fridge. I’d also like to make it a bit spicy. I’m kind of an idiot in the kitchen so any help on exactly how to make it would be helpful. I have a full sized crock pot that I can keep it warm in and my mom has a mini one so I was wondering if I can either cook it in that or cook it on the stove then keep it in the crock to stay warm. ANd if you have any other cheap/easy snack ideas let me know please!
Here are a couple I like, that go over well
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
2 (8 ounce) packages shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup beer
1/4 tsp. Cayenne or Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
1 (1 pound) loaf round bread
Place cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, garlic powder and beer in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, blend until smooth.
Remove and reserve top of round bread. Hollow out the loaf, reserving removed bread pieces.
Spoon cream cheese mixture into the hollowed loaf. Replace bread top between servings. Use the reserved removed bread pieces for dipping.
An even easier one is a Chili Cheese Dip
1 12 oz Cream Cheese
1 14 oz Can Chili (Hormel or Stag) with or without beans.
Shredded Mexican Blend Cheese
Sliced Blakc Olives (optional)
IN a 9″ round (or roughly same sized baking dish.
Smooth out cream cheese to make an even layer completely covering botom of baking dish. Pour Chili on top of Cream Cheese then top with Shredded cheese liberally, then microwave on high till shred cheese melts completely. Top with Sliced Olives and server with Corn or Tortilla chips for dipping. Big crowd pleaser.
