Ingredients
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)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Tortilla chips or pretzels, for serving
Instructions
- 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.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the beer over medium heat. Gradually whisk in the cream cheese until smooth and melted.
- Add the cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses, stirring constantly until the cheeses are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
- 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.
- Add the cooked sausage to the cheese mixture, stirring until well combined.
- Transfer the dip to a serving dish and serve warm with tortilla chips or pretzels.
Notes
- For a thicker dip, add a bit more cheese.
- You can substitute the milk with heavy cream for a richer, creamier texture.
- If you prefer a spicier dip, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
