Since we were on vacation, I wanted to make snackie night a little bit more special by adding in a few dips to the mix.<\/p>\n<p>On a recent episode of Triple D (because I love it so), I saw mention of a beer and cheese dip. \u00a0This got me thinking about creating a beer dip that you could have with snacks and that doesn&#8217;t need to be kept warm.<\/p>\n<p>By eliminating the need to keep this dip warm, it becomes perfect for having out for parties and get togethers.<\/p>\n<p>I wanted the beer flavor to come through while also having a little bit of a kick to it. \u00a0What goes great with beer? Mustard!<\/p>\n<p>Once I knew mustard was going into the mix, the rest of the recipe fell into place.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Andrea&#8217;s Beer and Mustard Dip<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1C Dark Lager Style Beer (I used Great Lakes Eliot Ness)<\/li>\n<li>2TBSP Whole Grain Mustard<\/li>\n<li>3TBSP Dijon Mustard<\/li>\n<li>2 Cloves of Garlic<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 Small Onion, chunked<\/li>\n<li>1TBSP Prepared Horseradish<\/li>\n<li>1\/2TBSP Unbleached All-Purpose Flour<\/li>\n<li>1\/4tsp Garlic Powder<\/li>\n<li>Big Pinch Red Pepper Flakes<\/li>\n<li>About 1\/2tsp each, salt and ground black pepper<\/li>\n<li>Couple Dashes Your Favorite Hot Sauce<\/li>\n<li>1tsp Olive Oil<\/li>\n<li>1C Shredded Cheddar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In a small mixing bowl, combine the cheddar and flour. \u00a0Set aside. \u00a0In a small food chopper or food processer, add in the onion and garlic cloves and pulse until finely chopped. \u00a0In a medium sized sauce pan add in the olive oil and heat over medium heat. \u00a0Add in the onion and garlic and sautee for about 2 minutes stirring constantly so the garlic doesn&#8217;t burn. \u00a0Add in the salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and garlic powder. Add in the beer, mustards, and horseradish. \u00a0Stir and allow to come to a simmer. \u00a0Simmer for about 5 minutes. \u00a0You should notice the sauce starting to thicken up at this stage (not a lot, it thickens just a tad). \u00a0Turn heat down to low and slowly whisk in the cheddar and flour combo. \u00a0Keep whisking until the cheddar is melted and fully incorporated into the sauce.<\/p>\n<p>Remove from heat and pour dip into a glass bowl. \u00a0You can serve this immediately or allow to cool, cover, and store in fridge till you need it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/beer_mustard_dip2.jpg\" data-rel=\"attachment-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-14975\" title=\"Beer and Mustard Dip\" src=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/beer_mustard_dip2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/beer_mustard_dip2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/beer_mustard_dip2-449x300.jpg 449w, https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/beer_mustard_dip2.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>This dip is great warm and it&#8217;s great cold. \u00a0It can also be served at room temperature making it a perfect party dip!<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s creamy with a strong flavor of beer and mustard. \u00a0It goes well with veggies, chips, or even sausage bites! \u00a0It can also be used on top of sandwiches as a spread or sauce.<\/p>\n<p>The cheddar helps thicken it up just a little more while providing some background sharpness that brings some depth to the dip. \u00a0Horseradish makes it demand to be noticed.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m already looking forward to making some more of this and seeing what else I can add it to!<\/p>\n<p><em>Have fun guys, and remember, always play with your food!
