Ingredients
Scale
- 8 Ounces Sharp Cheddar Cheese - shredded from a block
- 8 Ounces Cream Cheese - softened to room temperature
- 1/4 Cup Light Beer - warm & stale
- 1 Teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 Teaspoon Hot Sauce*
- 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/8 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
- 1/8 Teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 1/8 Teaspoon Dry Mustard
Instructions
Before you make the recipe, open up a can of light beer and sit on the counter to let come to room temperature and become stale for 4-24 hours.
- Shred a block of cheddar cheese using a cheese grater. Do not use pre-shredded bagged cheese for this recipe.
- In a food processor or high-powered blender, add the shredded cheese, cream cheese, beer, and spices. Blend until smooth and creamy for 3-5 minutes - stopping a couple of times to scrape down the sides with a spatula.
- Once completely smooth and blended, add to a bowl and enjoy with warm pretzel bites (or store in the fridge to chill until readyto serve).
Notes
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.
- If you like a bit more of a kick and spice, add 1-2 more teaspoons of hot sauce for an extra level of punch and spice.
- Enjoy with warm pretzel bites, pretzels, crackers, bread, or veggies.
