Ingredients

1, 12 oz. Low Carb Beer
8 oz. Softened Cream Cheese
8 oz. Block of Cheddar
Add salt, pepper, and preferred spices to taste

Instructions

Start by shredding your block of cheese and set it aside.
In a large pot with the heat off, add the softened cream cheese (this is a must) and the beer. Turn the heat to medium low to start.
Use a whisk to break up the block of cream cheese and whisk it into the beer. It looks gross, just go with it.
Adjust the heat to medium and continue to whisk down the cream cheese. Small pieces are ok, large chunks are not. Once you see only small pieces you can start adding the cheese.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly and gradually add in the cheese one handful at a time. Whisk each handful in until it melts and incorporates into the mixture.
Repeat this process until all the cheese is gone. Season with salt and pepper to taste and any other preferred spices or dry rubs for a nice kick (see post above for several ideas).
Remove from the heat for 5-10 min and let it thicken a bit and then transfer into a heat proof safe dish for dipping or pour over your favorite foods!

Notes

Sauce looks too thin? Let it cool off the heat or try adding a little more cheese. Worst case scenario, you can add a little (keyword- LITTLE) xanthan gum (1/4 tsp) to help it thicken. Too much will make it slimy (or use a tiny amount of cornstarch).
