š©š³ How to Make Hot Sausage Beer Cheese Dip
1. Cook the Sausage
Start by heating a skillet over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until it’s fully browned, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks. Once done, set it aside.
2. Warm the Beer & Cream Cheese
In a large saucepan, bring the beer to a gentle simmer. Add the softened cream cheese and stir continuously until it melts completely and becomes smooth and creamy.
3. Melt the Cheese
Slowly stir in the cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Keep stirring until all the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is silky and smooth.
4. Thicken the Dip
Add the milk, flour, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Continue stirring as the dip thickens into a rich, creamy consistency.
5. Add the Sausage
Return the cooked sausage to the pan and mix well so every bite is packed with flavor.
6. Serve Warm
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and enjoy it hot with tortilla chips, pretzels, crackers, or even sliced veggies.
