🧀 Ingredients

One of the best things about this recipe is the short ingredient list. It takes all the stress out of entertaining… and don’t worry… a short ingredient list doesn’t mean this dip is short on flavor.

• 16 oz. cream cheese, softened to room temperature
• 2 cups finely shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 package dry ranch dressing mix
• 2/3 cups beer (I used Spotted Cow)
• 1/2 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
• 2 Tbsp. sliced green onions

📋 Instructions

This dip is incredibly easy to whip up. Just be sure your cream cheese is at room temperature so it turns out nice and creamy!

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, cheddar cheese, ranch dressing mix, and beer.
2. Use a hand mixer or food processor to mix until smooth and creamy.
3. Stir in cooked bacon and green onions, reserving some for garnish.
4. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with remaining green onions.

🍗 Recipe variations

• Omit the bacon – the recipe is delicious even without it!
• Add 1 cup cooked, chopped chicken
• Use fresh minced chives in place of green onions
• Substitute any of your favorite kinds of beer
• Use Monterey Jack, Colby Jack, or any type of cheese
• Serve with veggies, crackers, or crusty bread in place of pretzels

🌡 Storing

Leftover dip should be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. I would not recommend freezing it, as cream cheese doesn’t typically freeze well.
