    Queso Beer-Cheese Dip

     

    Get the fiesta started with warm queso. This queso beer-cheese dip is blended with flavors of lager beer, sweet and spicy peppers, and onion. This dip's an easy entertaining favorite that is sure to please any crowd or as an easy weeknight dinner when served as nachos with rice and beans.

    INGREDIENTS

    • 3 tablespoon butter divided
    • ½ White onion, chopped
    • 1Bell pepper, seeded and diced
    • 1 Jalapeno
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • ¾ cup whole milk
    • ½ cup Samuel Adams or your favorite lager
    • 12 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
    • 12 Ounces mild or medium Cheddar cheese shredded
    • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    • Chips or veggies to serve the dip with
    • Cilantro, tomatoes and fresh peppers make a great optional topping.

    DIRECTIONS

    1. Heat 1 tbs. of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, peppers, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are lightly browned and soft.
    2. Remove the vegetables from the pan and set aside. Add remaining butter to the pan and melt. Slowly sprinkle ½ tbs of the flour over the butter while whisking it. You should have a thick but smooth mixture.
    3. Slowly add in the milk and keep whisking. Add in the beer and allow the mixture simmer.
    4. While whisking slowly sprinkle the remailing flour into the sauce.
    5. Cook over medium heat until the sauce is smooth.
    6.  In small amounts slowly add the cheese to the warm milk mixture. Be sure to keep whisking until the sauce is smooth. I like to work in batches until all of the cheese has been added in I have a smooth sauce.
    7. Add the pepper and onion mixture to the cheese sauce
    8. Simmer on low for a few minutes. Do not allow the cheese to overcook.

    Serving

    Queso Beer-Cheese Dip is great with chips or veggies. We like to top the dip with chopped fresh cilantro and diced tomatoes.

        That'd be great! I've made it before without the butter but I've not found a vegan cheese substitute my husband likes.

      This Queso Beer-Cheese Dip sounds delicious. I like you can have it with vegetables too because I’m on a Paleo diet. Also, love adding cilantro to most of my dishes.
