Smoked Beer Cheese Dip is a rich, creamy, and flavorful appetizer combining sharp and white cheddar cheeses, Velveeta, and cream cheese with smoky notes from BBQ seasoning and depth from dark beer. This dip is perfect for parties and pairs wonderfully with pretzels, crackers, or fresh vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheeses

  • 8 oz white cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 8 oz sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 16 oz Velveeta cheese, cubed
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

Flavorings

  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 12 oz dark beer (such as stout or porter)
  • 1 tbsp BBQ seasoning
  • ¼ cup chives, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheeses: Shred the white and sharp cheddar cheeses and cube the Velveeta cheese. Soften the cream cheese by leaving it at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, combine the shredded white cheddar, sharp cheddar, Velveeta cubes, and softened cream cheese.
  3. Add Seasonings and Beer: Slowly pour in the dark beer while stirring continuously to avoid clumping. Add Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and BBQ seasoning to the mixture. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated and the cheeses are melted completely.
  4. Simmer and Thicken: Reduce the heat to low and let the dip simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency suitable for dipping.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, garnish with chopped chives, and serve warm with your choice of pretzels, crackers, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • Use a dark beer such as a stout or porter to complement the smoky BBQ seasoning.
  • For an extra smoky flavor, consider using smoked cheddar cheeses or adding a few drops of liquid smoke.
  • This recipe can be kept warm in a slow cooker on low setting during a party.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave, adding a splash of beer or milk to maintain creaminess.
  • Adjust thickness by adding more beer for a thinner dip or more cheese for thickening.
