Beer Dip

By Mrs_imUnLawson

"Born and raised in Wisconsin, known for their cheese, beer and Packers, I would be remiss to not share this amazing Beer Dip recipe that my sister in law introduced me too. It’s a perfect pairing with pretzels or Frito scoops and is always a hit at any party."

Ingredients

• 2 packages (8 ounce) cream cheese, softened (My sis in law’s original recipe called for 3 packages of cream cheese, which is also very good, but we now prefer the consistency of mixing the cream cheese with sour cream.)
• 1 (8 ounce) carton of sour cream
• 1 package Dry mix -  Ranch Dressing (like Hidden Valley)
• 1/2 - 3/4 can of beer (Bud or a lager, full bodied beer, as opposed to a light will give you a better flavor)
• 2 cups cheese, shredded
• Bacon bits (optional garnish)
• Green onions (optional garnish)

Preparation

Step 1

Mix cream cheese, sour cream, dressing, and beer until you reach your desired creamy consistency.

Mix in 1/2 cup of cheese, leaving the remaining cheese to sprinkle on top.

Refrigerated overnight to let the flavors marinade or at least 3 hours before.

Before serving, garnish with bacon bits and green onions.

Serve with pretzels or scoops.
