Directions
Step 1
In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground sausage until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Break it into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, combine the softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir frequently until the cheeses melt together and form a smooth mixture.
Step 3
Slowly pour in the beer, stirring constantly to incorporate. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
Step 4
Stir in the garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, and hot sauce. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Step 5
Add the cooked sausage to the cheese mixture and stir to combine. Allow the dip to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 6
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with sliced green onions.
Step 7
Serve warm with crackers, pretzels, or sliced bread on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
