Nutrition Information
This is an excellent dip. Just one thought, maybe a couple. If you do not like the tangy/bitter of the beer, substitute one cup of whole milk to help thin the mixture, substitute one can Wolf Brand Chile w/o Beans for flavor. I would never cook it for over 2 hours on high in the slow cooker to prevent the dip from breaking down, but you can cook it for two hours and then turn it to low for an indefinite time to keep it warm.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience, Harold!
