  • Total Time30 minutes
  • Yield10 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb Italian sausage, removed from casing
  • 1 cup beer (lager or ale works best)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • to taste salt and black pepper
  • tortilla chips or pretzels, for serving

Instructions

  1. Brown the Sausage: In a large skillet, cook the Italian sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Drain excess fat and set aside.
  2. Heat the Beer and Cream Cheese: In a medium saucepan, heat the beer over medium heat. Gradually whisk in the cream cheese until smooth and melted.
  3. Melt In the Cheeses: Add the cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses gradually, stirring constantly until fully melted and smooth.
  4. Season and Thicken: Stir in the milk, flour, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and is heated through.
  5. Combine Sausage and Cheese: Add the cooked sausage to the cheese mixture, stirring until well combined.
  6. Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving dish and serve warm with tortilla chips or pretzels.

Notes

Use a smooth lager or mild ale for best results — hoppy IPAs can leave a bitter taste. Soften cream cheese ahead of time for easier melting. This dip can be kept warm in a slow cooker on the low setting for parties. Leftovers reheat well on the stovetop with a splash of milk to loosen.
