The smoky flavor of this white cheddar beer cheese dip can be as light or as strong as you want. Dip some fresh veggies, bread, chips, or sausages into this dip for a great game day appetizer.
In a 6 inch cast iron pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add in the minced garlic and cook until translucent. Stir in the flour and let cook for one minute.
Reduce the heat and slowly stir in the beer and mustard. Simmer for [/timer]5 minutes and stir in the cheese until melted. Add in the smoked paprika and serve.
Notes
For a stronger smoky flavor, trade out the regular cheddar cheese for a smoked cheddar cheese. Since most shredded cheese from the store has an anti-caking ingredient added, your beer cheese dip will have a better texture if you freshly grate the cheese.
