With temperatures soaring, this Hefeweisse based cheese dip is sure to cool the palette. This recipe is a great addition to any summer cookout as it can be served cold as an appetizer or warm, fondue style.

Ingredients

4 lbs grated cheese (use a blend of 75% White Cheddar, 25% cheese of your choice)
3/4 lbs cream cheese or Neufchatel
1/2 medium onion red or yellow minced
1/4 cup dry mustard
1/2 Tbsp. salt, kosher
1/2 Tbsp. garlic salt
2 1/2 cups Hefewiseisse
2 oz  feta or goat cheese crumbled

Directions

Hint:  You may want to halve or quarter the recipe as it makes quite a bit.

Add cheeses, minced onion, Worcestershire, mustard, kosher salt and garlic salt together in a mixing bowl.  Blend ingredients together completely using a mixer.  While mixer is still running, slowly add beer until it is entirely incorporated.  Can be served immediately.

Option:
Heat the completed dip over the stove stirring until smooth, or warm in microwave stirring in minute intervals until heated through.  This will create a fondue style appetizer.
