FEELING SAUCY? CHEDDAR BACON ALE DIP
AVOCADO CUMIN YOGURT DIP Tired of the same old ranch and spinach dips? This creamy concoction pairs well with vegetables of all kinds as well as crackers, bread and pretzel chips.
If three better flavors exist, we need to see proof. Mix them together and this ooey gooey dip is one to be reckoned with. Serve it in a small slow cooker to keep it warm for the entire party. 6 3 1 2
slices bacon, diced tbsp flour (12-ounce) bottle amber ale tsp Dijon mustard
4 oz cream cheese, diced 2 cups sharp cheddar 1/2 teaspoon Sriracha sauce Salt and pepper to taste
In a large pan over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy. Remove from pan, and drain on paper towels. Retain a few tablespoons of bacon fat in pan. Stir in flour, cooking for 1 minute. Whisk in beer, stirring occasionally as the mixture thickens. Whisk in mustard. Turn down heat to low. Add in cream cheese. Add cheddar by handful. Stir until dip is completely melted and hot throughout. Recipe and photo courtesy of Erin Sellin, dinnersdishesanddesserts.com.
