Ingredients
- 24 ounces cream cheese softened (see note 1)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 (1 ounce) packet Ranch dressing mix (see note 2)
- 6 ounces beer (see note 3)
- 4 chives or 1 scallion, thinly sliced, plus more for garnish if desired
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or more to taste
- potato chips pretzels, or crackers, for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add cream cheese, cheddar cheese, ranch mix, beer, chives, and garlic powder (start with 1/2 teaspoon and add more to taste if desired). Stir to combine.
- Cover and chill at least 30 minutes or until serving time. Garnish with more chives if desired and serve with chips, pretzels, or crackers.
Notes
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Cream cheese: Three, yes three whole blocks, because the recipe makes a lot of dip. Let them come to room temperature before you start.
- Ranch dressing mix: Use a store-bought packet or make homemade ranch dressing mix.
- Beer: Lager, pilsners, and lighter beers make a slightly sweet, mild dip. Heartier beers like stout, dark lagers, porters, or schwarzbiers will make the cheese dip a little more fully-flavored. Prefer no beer? Just leave it out; the dip is still delicious without it.
- Yield: This recipe makes about 4 cups of dip, enough for 16 servings, 1/4 cup each. Yes, it's a big batch!
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
