Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
- For the smoothest, creamiest dip, use cheese you shred yourself. Pre-shredded cheese is tossed with an anti-caking agent, which is grainy in dips and sauces.
- Yes, you'll have some beer leftover. Drink up!
- There's a tiny hint of spice in this cheese dip - feel free to add a bit more cayenne if you like a bit more spice.
- This dip doesn't reheat very well - it'll separate and get greasy. It is best eaten fresh.
