Ingredients
To make this delicious dip, you’ll need:
- 250–300 g ground sausage (spicy or mild, depending on preference)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (if needed)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beer (lager or ale works best)
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (sharp cheddar recommended)
- ½ cup cream cheese (softened)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: pinch of paprika or chili flakes for extra heat
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Cook the Sausage
Start by heating a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground sausage and cook it thoroughly, breaking it apart into small crumbles with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink.
- If the sausage releases a lot of fat, drain the excess grease.
- Set the cooked sausage aside while you prepare the cheese base.
Step 2: Make the Roux
In the same pan (or a clean saucepan), melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously for about 1–2 minutes.
- This mixture, called a roux, will help thicken your dip.
- Keep stirring to avoid burning—it should turn slightly golden but not brown.
