Easy Beer Cheese – Two Ways is so versatile you can make the original version or mix things up by using pimento cheese for a fun and delicious alternative.
This post was originally published on January 29, 2017, but the Super Bowl is tomorrow so I thought you could use some easy beer cheese.
So I was trying to relax at the nail salon while getting an overdue and much deserved manicure and pedicure. I had a glass of delicious red wine in my hand and reached for some beer cheese when I’m abruptly awakened from my dream like state with a complaint from Lisa. You have never put this beer cheese on your blog. What?
Au contraire mon frere.
I have put Lisa’s beer cheese recipe on this ridiculous website, but I can understand the oversight since it wasn’t in the title. It was actually the first recipe I shared when I launched my new look almost two years ago.
In order to make Lisa eat her words happy and because I absolutely cannot get excited about either one of the teams playing in the Super Bowl this year, so I’m going to be faceplanting in some beer cheese only coming up long enough to watch commercials and hope Tom Brady gets sacked, I share with you two versions of beer cheese – Lisa’s original and pimento.
Yes, from the girl who said she doesn’t like pimentos because she doesn’t like olives. I’m looking at you, Lisa.
Easy Beer Cheese – Two Ways
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 4 ounces extra sharp white cheddar cheese shredded
- 2 - 3 cloves garlic
- 1 -2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 = 3/4 cup beer
Instructions
-
Combine cream cheese, cheddar, garlic, and Worcestershire Sauce in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until combined.
-
With the food processor running, slowly stream in beer until desired consistency is reached
For a Pimento Cheese Version
-
Combine 8 ounces of pimento cheese, 4 ounces cream cheese, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce in a food processor and pulse until combined.
-
With food processor running, slowly stream in beer until desired consistency is reached
NOTES:
- I used my Irish Red Ale home brew for this, but you can use any beer that you want. Just remember that it is going to taste like whatever beer you use, so be careful of anything too hoppy or with flavors you don’t want in your cheese.
- Serve with pretzels, chips, bread, pita, vegetables, or any other kind of snack you like
We’re also making beer cheese for the super bowl and I am way more enthusiastic about that than the team’s playing too. But I am really looking forward to Gaga at halftime!
Hahaha…good thing Lisa is there to keep you in line, Rachelle! 🙂 I was just thinking the other day that I needed a good beer cheese recipe…and you came through in the clutch. The clutch times two! So as far as the teams in this year’s game…I’ve got a reason to pull for the Patriots. Nope, I don’t like the Patriots. But I hate Roger Goodell. He’s been the worst thing that happened to the NFL probably ever. So if the Patriots win, he’s gotta hand the trophy to Brady. And you know that will be the most awkward situation ever after the suspension and crap that Goodell pulled earlier this year. That ceremony might be just as entertaining as the halftime show! Just some food for thought there…along with beer cheese!
Done! I am so making this!!! I’m sure my peeps will love it as much as I do! Thanks for sharing, my friend!
You can bet I’ll be trying this for Super Bowl Rachelle! So glad you shared it. It sounds fabulous!
Wait… where do you get your nails done!? You can drink wine AND bring delicious cheese dip to much on?! Hold on.. I’m hoping in my car and driving to Charlotte immediately! 😉 I love both of these beer cheese dips! They look amazing, girlie! I’m all for face planting into vats of this cheesy, beer-y deliciousness! And heck yes to hoping Tom Brady gets sacked! <3 Pinned! Cheers, sweets! xoxo
Hehehe I think that we are all happy that lisa was there! This recipe is right up my alley!! loving this post Rachelle!
GO PATS! I love these beer cheese dips!. GO PATS! This recipe is a definte keeper. GO PATS! I’m going to a big Super Bowl Party to watch the PATRIOTS play and I might just bring this duo of cheesy goodness. GO PATS! WOOOHOOO!! GO PATS!!!!
I don’t think I’ve had beer cheese dip in forever! I need to change that immediately. This looks SO good! Definitely what my superbowl appetizers need!
Aren’t you so bummed when you are awoken from such a dream like state like that, lol 😀 Kinda like when one dreams of puppies. But, usually I have strange dreams cause I’m often watching vampire or zombie shows and then dream about it! Ha! Anywho…loving these dip duo, girl! I’ll sit and eat this all by ma self while everyone else watches the game…hehehe!
So fun! Love that you are sharing beer cheese! So perfect for game day!!
Such a perfect cheesy super bowl treat!! Looks absolutely delish.
This beer cheese looks super tasty! Perfect for the Super Bowl … which although I’m not a big football fan, I will say that I don’t like Tom Brady. 😉
We love your beer recipes, Beer girl. And these beer cheese dips are no exception. Can’t wait to try them. 🙂
these will be a hit on game day!
These dips look amazing! Pinning to try them asap!
I always watch the game for the commercials….that and all the great food that we HAVE to have! Beer cheese sounds delicious, but I’m not certain which one is the best! I’ll make both and have a taste test! 🙂
Oh my gosh! I have to try this! This looks soooooo AMAZING! I love a good cheese spread.
