Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy White Cheddar Beer Cheese
  1. Preheat your broiler on high and gather a medium saucepan. Measure out your white cheddar cheese and cream cheese.
  2. In the saucepan over medium-low heat, combine all but ½ cup of shredded white cheddar cheese with cream cheese. Stir frequently until melted, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Whisk in garlic powder, Dijon mustard, and beer into the melted cheese blend. Stir until smooth for about 3-4 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  4. Carefully transfer the mixture to a small oven-safe skillet or baking dish. Sprinkle the reserved cheddar cheese evenly on top.
  5. Place the dish under the broiler, watching closely as it bubbles and turns lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Once broiled, let the dip sit for a minute to cool slightly. Serve warm with soft pretzels, chips, or fresh veggies.
