Why I love this recipe

This easy beer cheese dip recipe was handed down to me by my Mother-In-Law. We’ve been craving this cheesy snack again lately so it was time to downsize it to make this small batch version, which makes it more manageable for just the two of us.

Try serving it with these Soft Pretzels, as a side dish to these Swiss Cheese Chicken Salad Sandwiches, or with these Ribeye Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches.

This recipe is moderately low-carb, but not necessarily by Keto extreme low-carb guidelines.

Recipe FAQs

What is the best beer for beer dip?

You can use any kind of beer including nonalcoholic beer. Lighter beers, such as lagers, ales, and pilsners, will give your dip a lighter color, and mild taste that just about everyone loves. Darker beers like stouts and porters make a darker-colored dip and have a stronger beer flavor. Hoppy beers like IPAs will give the dip a slightly more bitter taste.
