Ingredients
- Ingredients for the Beer Cheese 3/4 bottle of flat beer of your liking
- 16 Oz sharp cheddar cheese, grated; use a combination of your favorites or one that always speaks to you
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 Medium onion, minced

Steps
- Pour a 12-ounce bottle of beer of your choosing into a glass and allow it to sit until it looses its effervescence. This could take up to an hour, but don't worry if you don't have that much time.
- Combine all ingredients except beer in food processor and pulse until slightly blended. Then turn processor on and slowly pour beer through food chute. Mixture will be soft, but will harden in refrigerator.
- Make one or two days ahead of time, as taste is better once flavors have time to blend.
- Cook your store-bought or homemade burger patty and allow it to sit for a few minutes. Spread beer cheese on it and top with condiments.
- Tip:This dip also tastes great with tortilla chips, pretzels, crackers, and carrot sticks.
