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
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 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.
  • For a milder version, use mild sausage instead of hot sausage.
  • You can substitute the beer with chicken broth for a non-alcoholic version.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • If you want to make the dip less spicy, opt for mild Italian sausage instead of hot sausage.
  • You can use any beer of your choice, but a lager or ale typically works best for flavor.
  • The dip can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave before serving.
