Ingredients

2 packages cream cheese, softened 16 ounces
¼ cup creamy ranch dressing
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup beer I used Sam Adams OctoberFest.
¾ cup cooked & chopped bacon

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix cream cheese and ranch dressing using an electric mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Mix in your favorite beer until combined.
Add in shredded cheese.
Add chopped bacon and mix until combined.
Place dip in refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. Top with additional shredded cheese and chopped bacon, serve with crackers, pretzels, and/or potato chips.

Notes

Make Sure the Bacon is Crispy. You want to cook it so that it’s crispy and not undercooked. Also, be sure you drain the bacon well and pat any excess grease off the bacon.

Give Your Dip Some Extra Kick. If you want to add more “kick” to this dip, you can add green onions, green chilies, a dash of onion salt, or chopped jalapeno.

Don't Want To Use Beer!?: No problem, you can substitute the beer for chicken broth.

Give It Time to Chill. An hour in the fridge (or overnight!) allows the flavors to meld together but also the consistency will firm up a bit.
