Skillet Beer Cheese

Healthy Fact of the Day

While indulgent, cheese is a good source of calcium and protein. The beer adds B vitamins and silicon, which may help strengthen bones.

Ingredients

 

  • 16 oz sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup beer (preferably a lager or ale)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • Salt to taste
  • Chopped chives or green onions for garnish
  • Pretzels, bread cubes, or crackers for dipping

 

Instructions

  1. In a large cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat, add the cream cheese and beer. Stir until the cream cheese is melted and smooth.

  2. Gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring constantly to ensure it melts evenly.

  3. Once all the cheese is melted, add the minced garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine.

  4. Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture is smooth and bubbly, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. Taste and add salt if needed.

  6. If the cheese is too thick, add a splash more beer to thin it out. If it’s too thin, continue cooking for a few more minutes to reduce.

  7. Once you’ve reached your desired consistency, remove from heat.

  8. Garnish with chopped chives or green onions.

  9. Serve directly from the skillet (be careful, it’s hot!) with pretzels, bread cubes, or crackers for dipping.

 

Dip into this warm, gooey skillet of beer cheese and let the rich, tangy flavors dance on your tongue! It’s the perfect marriage of two beloved comfort foods, creating a dip so irresistible, you’ll find yourself saying “just one more bite” until the skillet is scraped clean. Who knew beer and cheese could create such delicious harmony?

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
