Beer Cheese Dip Recipe
Ingredients
- 12 ounces light beer
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 4 cups cups Mexican blend cheese shredded, divided
- 1 can Rotel Tomatoes 14.5 ounce can, undrained
Instructions
- Heat a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Pour in the beer and allow to come to a boil. It may foam a bit. While waiting to boil, cut your cream cheese into 1 inch chunks.
- Once boiling, add in the cream cheese to the beer. Use a whisk to stir until fully melted and combined.
- Once creamy and fully melted, add in your shredded cheese. Add a bit at a time, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring with the whisk until melted before adding more. Stop when the queso is to your desired consistency. For me this was 4 cups but I REALLY like cheese. 3-4 cups should be perfect.
- Once cheese is fully melted, stir in the Rotel.
- Serve immediately with your fave chips. Enjoy!

Made this for super bowl Sunday and it had a very gritty texture and taste… I followed the recipe exactly? I did use bagged shredded cheese would that be the reason?
I would make sure to only add a little at a time and be sure its all melted before adding in more shredded cheese, it shouldn’t matter if it’s store bought :)
Can this be made the day ahead & then warmed up on the stove or microwave?
Absolutely!! :)
Fantastic recipes. I love this site
Why thank you, Joe!
Sounds great but my kids and I can’t take spice and don’t like cumin lol. If I add regular diced tomatoes, what spice would you suggest?
The aftertaste was very bitter. Not thick at all and followed recipe exactly. Sorry, this is not adequate to serve to people,..;
This is NOT GOOD!!!!
The taste could have been from the type of beer you used. If its a bitter beer at all, that would cause a bitter cheese dip. Cooking longer can thicken or you can add a bit of cornstarch. Thanks for your comment!
I only Rotel with diced green chilies in them…. will that suffice?
Yep that’s perfect!
Could I use a hard cider instead of beer? We are gluten free and I don’t necessarily want to make a trip out for a gluten free beer today! Thx
You could but it might give it a fruity taste. If you try it please let me know!
I plan to make this but would prefer to try half of the cheese to be a medium cheddar. Do u think other cheeses would be ok?
Yes I think that would be fine
do you make this with block cheese or shredded bag cheese
You can do either!
Can children eat this Beer dip? I was told the alcohol evaporates??
Yes it should all evaporate as it boils and shouldn’t be a problem!
