Everything can be made on the stove or a slow cooker. I made mine on the stove and then transferred it to a small slow cooker to keep the dip warm. Once the ingredients heat together, it blends nicely.

Main Ingredients for Beer Dip

Shredded Cheese - I use a mild Cheddar but you can use sharp Cheddar cheese if you like.

Cream Cheese - name brand or generic ok

Beer - An IPA or Lager beer works best but you can use your favorite beer too!

Mustard - you can use a yellow or a dijon mustard

Chives or green onions

    This is SO GOOD. I'm wishing I could reach for the screen for it. Basically anything with cheddar is my best friend anyway, but make it into a dip? YES.

    How long do you cook in slow cooker?

      Hi Rachel, the slow cooker just keeps the cheese warm so I would say you could keep it in there for 2-3 hours at most. Thank you for rating our recipe! <3

    Sorry if this is a stupid question, but does the beer cook out of the cheese? Is there any alcohol in it?

      A perfectly relevant question, and yes, the alcohol does burn off.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
