Receta Spicy Beer-Cheese Dip with Bacon
The best part of Football season is all the recipes for Appetizers online. I think I may have mentioned this before, as the thought pops in my head every football season. I could live off appetizers, so it's certainly my time of year. Plus, I am so sick of sweets from the holiday season that all I want is something savory, preferably with a beer to wash it down. So - in honor of the big game on Sunday and all of the wonderful appetizers {snack foods, finger-foods, etc.} that will be enjoyed across America, I present you with Spicy Beer-Cheese Dip with Bacon.
It's what your wildest dreams are made of. Plus, you'll have some leftover beer to help wash it down. {this is my kinda dish!}
Big shout out to that beer too. Lagunitas Brewing Company Little Sumpin' Sumpin' Ale. Oh me oh my. I've tried a lot of beers and keep coming back to this one. I would describe what it tastes like but I am far from a beer connoisseur and would probably just sound like a jack-ass. {speaking of Jack Ass, just saw Bad Grandpa the other night and was crying from laughing so hard. just a psa for all you Knoxville fans!} What I can tell you is that if you buy some and don't like - you always got a place to take the leftovers. {me.} ;)
I promise that you need want both the Spicy Beer-Cheese Dip with Bacon and the Lagunitas Sumpin' Ale in your life. I'm am not saying this is the best dip ever, I'm just saying that I was eating it off the spoon. {shameless, I know.}
