Ingredients

  • 12 ounces light beer (1 bottle)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (1 brick)
  • 4 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese divided
  • 14.5 ounces Rotel Tomatoes undrained (1 can)

Instructions

  • Heat a small saucepan over medium heat.
  • Pour in the beer and allow it 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 the cream cheese to the beer. Use a whisk to stir until fully melted and combined.
    8 ounces cream cheese
  • Once creamy and fully melted, add in your shredded cheese, about ½ 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.

Notes

  • Use freshly-shredded cheese for the best results. Pre-shredded could create a gritty texture.
  • Keep the temperature low when adding the cheese to prevent it from seizing.
  • If your dip does turn gritty, fix it by mixing a small amount of the dip with a tablespoon of lemon juice or white wine, whisk vigorously, and add back to the pot.
  • Keep warm using the "warm" setting on a crockpot.
Storage: Store beer cheese dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
