Notes
- Ranch dressing mix: To substitute store-bought ranch dressing mix, use ½ of the packet (about ½ ounce) or double the beer cheese dip recipe and use the whole packet.
- Beer: Lager, pilsners, and lighter beers make a slightly sweet, mild dip. Heartier beers like stout, dark lagers, porters, or schwarzbiers will make the cheese dip a little more fully-flavored. Prefer no beer? Just leave it out; the dip is still delicious without it.
- Yield: This recipe makes about 2 cups of dip, enough for 8 servings, 1/4 c. each.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
