Hot Ground Beef Beer Cheese Dip! 🧀🌶️

2. Make the Beer Cheese Base

In a separate small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, then stir in the flour to create a smooth roux. Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, to remove the raw flour taste.

Slowly whisk in the beer, making sure no lumps remain. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2–3 minutes, until slightly thickened.

Add the cream cheese, stirring until it’s completely melted and smooth. Then, stir in the cheddar and pepper jack cheeses, one handful at a time, until fully melted. Season with smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to taste.

3. Combine Beef and Cheese

Pour the cheesy beer mixture into the skillet with the cooked beef. Stir thoroughly to ensure every bite is coated in cheesy goodness. Reduce heat to low and let it cook together for 2–3 minutes so the flavors meld beautifully.

4. Serve Hot

Transfer the dip to a warm serving dish or keep it in the skillet. Garnish with chopped green onions or jalapeño slices for an extra pop of color and spice. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or sliced baguette.

Tips for the Perfect Dip

1. Cheese choice: Don’t be afraid to mix cheeses. A sharper cheddar adds depth, while pepper jack gives the spicy kick.
2. Beer flavor: Use a beer you enjoy drinking, as the flavor will come through in the dip.
3. Make-ahead option: Prepare the beef mixture in advance, then heat and add the cheese and beer mixture just before serving.
