Simple Party Dish: Beer Dip

At my Girls Getaway a few weeks ago, Allison made a delicious beer dip that we devoured in two days. So simple. So delicious. So perfect. I needed a dish to bring to our book club dinner, and this was the perfect appetizer.

Beer Dip:
2 8oz packages cream cheese
2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
1 oz. package Ranch powder
1/2 c. beer

Mix cream cheese (at room temperature) with the Ranch packet.
Mix in beer and cheddar cheese.
Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours.
Serve with pretzels.

Cost: about 9 dollars
