Stout Cheddar Cheese Dip Recipes

CHEDDAR BEER CHEESE DIP RECIPE (SIP BITE GO)

Steps:

• Put a large pot on a burner set to medium heat, and add butter and flour. Stir for 30 seconds to form a roux. For newbies to cooking: a roux is a thick paste-like mixture of butter and flour. It's "done" when the mixture is lightly browned and it sticks to the back of the spoon. Once the roux is ready, add in garlic powder, fresh parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir seasonings for two minutes.
• Slowly pour the beer into the roux mixture. Whisk until it thickens, about five minutes, then add grated cheese. Whisk until cheese melts completely. Remove from heat or it will continue to thicken.
• To heat soft pretzels, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat soft pretzels with melted butter and salt. Bake for ~10 minutes.

AGED CHEDDAR AND STOUT FONDUE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Unroll each can crescent dough into long rectangle. Firmly press perforations to seal. Using a small knife, cut dough into 1-inch by 4-inch strips. (Cut number of strips to match number of cocktails links in package--about 48.)
• Wrap each cocktail link with 1 dough strip around middle of link. Place on ungreased cookie sheet, seam side down, about 2 inches apart. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown.
• In large bowl, toss grated cheese with the flour. In 2-quart saucepan over medium heat, swirl in the olive oil. When shimmering, add the garlic; cook 30 seconds until very fragrant. Add stout, apple juice concentrate, ground mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Heat to a simmer (let simmer 3 minutes if you want alcohol to evaporate) and gradually, in small batches, add cheese, constantly stirring until fondue is smooth, thick and cheese completely melted. If too thick, stir in an additional oz of stout until desired consistency.
• Serve fondue immediately with pigs in the blanket.
