Can be made ahead of time; refrigerated then baked in oven. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter |
1/2 finely chopped green onion |
1 pound smoked sausage, diced (bryan or your favorite brand) |
2 tablespoons dijon mustard |
1 8-ounce package cream cheese |
1 12-ounce bottle dark beer |
1 pound shredded sharp white cheddar cheese |
1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper |
Directions:
1. Melt the butter in a medium-size saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, and saute for 2 minutes. Add the sausage and cook until it is no longer pink in color and is cooked through - approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Drain off fat. Add the mustard, cream cheese, and beer, stirring until the cream cheese is melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheddar cheese, a little at a time, until melted. Add the cayenne pepper. May serve in a dip bowl or bread bowl with crackers or bread crumbs for dipping.
2. To prepare ahead, make dip and place in a 1 quart baking dish that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Then refrigerate for up to 3 days. When ready to use, bring the dip to room temperature. Bake in 350* oven for 20-25 minutes. Serve warm.
