Tried this recipe today https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/beer-cheese-dip/
it was pretty good , i think it would be better but i used a budlight instead of a more flavor lager, and i used frozen shredded cheese instead of fresh grated. Next time i might add some shredded queso and a little parmesan. Its so quick and easy to make, i look forward to having this in my arsenal! Anyone else have a good beer cheese recipe ?
I was griping about Mac and cheese recently and a few folks on this site suggested that I use sodium citrate. Well, I tried that, and I ain't never going back. So here's a link, I haven't tried it yet, but 1 - it has sodium citrate, and 2 - it's Jess Pryles, so...
A beer cheese dip that stays impossibly gooey for perfect dipping satisfaction every time. All thanks to one special ingredient - sodium citrate. Learn how to use this special 'salt' to enjoy the most unbridled cheesy flavor.
I was gonna mention the same thing.
Just tried the sodium citrate about a week ago. And yeah. It’s a game changer.
Makes the cheese smooth like butter. Only cheesier.
Want to knock it up another notch....shred up some BBQed chicken breast and mix it into the dip.
Queso will definitely help and/or a few tablespoons of Franks hot sauce.
Game changer indeed. There are a lot of good resources for that stuff. I like this one, not because it is particularly well organized, but he covers the ratios for different consistencies, and you can use your own recipes.
Sodium citrate is the perfect ingredient to turn any cheese into a super-melty cheese sauce, fondue or soup. Even aged cheddar can be melted like Velveeta!
