The holidays are over, but that doesn’t mean the food and fun has to end! This brat & beer cheese dip is for all of you Wisconsin professional football fans out there – because there’s nothing better than creamy cheese paired with beer and sausage, am I right?!
How do you make beer cheese dip?
This amazingly delicious dip was created by the McCormick kitchens and is part of their 50 Dips for 50 States project. McCormick took the signature flavors of each state to help you elevate your “bowl game” and help you bring your team spirit to the table. I want to try all of the dips, they look fabulous! This brat & beer cheese dip is made with some of Wisconsin’s finest foods – bratwurst, beer, cheddar cheese, and cheese curds. All of these flavors come together so nicely with the help of McCormick Pork Gravy. I love how simple this dip is to prepare, and it’s always a huge hit with my family and friends. I used a sharp white cheddar cheese for the base of the dip, but feel free to use a different variety of cheddar cheese if you prefer.
What kind of beer is best for beer cheese dip?
For this dip, you’ll want to use a milder flavored beer, and be sure to use a beer that you like to drink! I recommend using a lager style beer which pairs perfectly with the sausage and cheese.
What to serve with beer cheese dip
I like to serve this dip with everything pretzel – soft pretzel bites, pretzel chips and pretzel squares. I also put out an assortment of fresh veggies so that there are plenty of dipping options to suit everyone’s preferences. Other great options are crackers, sliced baguette or breadsticks. The cheese curds melted over the top just might be my favorite part of the whole thing.
Football food is some of the best kind of food, and this dip definitely doesn’t disappoint in that area. I’m making this dip for my football viewing party this weekend, and I know it’ll be the first thing to disappear!
