• 1 lb Italian sausage
• 1 cup beer
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or oven-safe skillet.

2. Cook the sausage

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease if needed.

3. Make the cheese base

In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk together the milk and flour until smooth. Add the softened cream cheese and stir until it begins to melt and blend.

4. Add the flavor

Pour in the beer and stir in the Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.

5. Add the cheeses

Stir in the cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until the cheeses are melted and the mixture is thick and velvety.

6. Combine with the sausage

Fold the cooked sausage into the cheese mixture and stir until everything is well combined.

7. Bake until bubbly

Transfer the dip to the prepared baking dish and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until hot, bubbly, and lightly golden on top.

8. Serve warm

Remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy while warm and melty.

Tips for the Best Hot Sausage Beer Cheese Dip

Use a flavorful but smooth beer for the best taste without overpowering the cheese. If you want a little heat, use hot Italian sausage instead of mild. Soften the cream cheese before starting so it melts more easily into the sauce. For an extra golden top, place the dip under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes at the end.
