Notes
- It is best to grate your own block of cheese rather than buying pre-shredded cheese. Pre-shredded cheese tends to have a preservative on it that prevents it from melting fully.
- This cheesy dip makes a pretty large batch. It’s a crowd favorite, though, so if you’ll be with a big group, it doesn’t hurt to double up the batch.
- Cooking the beer and cream cheese together over medium heat is important. You want to be patient while waiting for the cheese to melt. If you cook it too quickly on a higher heat, it might ruin the recipe.
