How to Make Hot Sausage Beer Cheese Dip:
Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned and fully cooked. Break it into crumbles as it cooks. Once done, set the sausage aside.
Heat the Beer: In a large saucepan, pour in the beer and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Gradually melt the softened cream cheese into the beer, stirring continuously until smooth.
Add Cheeses: Slowly add the shredded cheddar, mozzarella, and grated Parmesan cheeses to the saucepan, stirring constantly until all the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Combine Ingredients: Stir in the milk, flour, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook and stir until the dip is thickened and well combined.
Add Sausage: Add the cooked sausage to the cheese mixture and stir until the sausage is evenly distributed throughout the dip.
Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving dish and serve warm with tortilla chips, pretzels, or your favorite dipping items.
Notes
For a spicier kick, use hot Italian sausage or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the cheese mixture.
This dip can be kept warm in a slow cooker for serving at parties.
