This is a cheesy dip that features a subtle beer flavor, which will have all your guests guessing about the secret ingredient! Enjoy it with your favorite crackers. (The macros are calculated on a 3.5 oz (100g) serving – which equals several generous scoops.)

Chef Tips:

• The dip is best served at room temperature. If you chill it, the cheddar will solidify again, and the mixture will stiffen a little too much to scoop easily. 
• If you cannot source German beer, just use your favorite beer.
• I made this with cheddar, but you can play around with other cheese, like Swiss Emmenthal or Gruyere, which will be equally punchy in flavor!

Ingredients

• 2 tsp olive oil
• 1 shallot, peeled and finely chopped
• ½ tsp paprika
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ¼ cup German beer (gluten-free)
• 1.8 oz cheddar cheese, grated
• 14 oz cream cheese
• Sea salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• Grain-free crackers, to serve (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a medium size pan and cook the shallots over medium heat until they soften and start to caramelize. Add the paprika and garlic powder and cook for another minute or so.
2. Pour in the beer and increase the heat to high, cooking until the mixture reduces by half. This won’t take too long.
3. Remove the pan from the heat and add in the grated cheese. Stir gently until the cheese melts into the mixture and the mixture is smooth.
4. Mix the cheesy onion beer mix with the cream cheese and combine well, seasoning with salt and pepper.
5. Serve with your favorite grain-free crackers.
