How to Make Guinness Stout Cheddar Dip

Preheat oven to 350.  Cut each biscuit in half and roll each half into a ball. Set aside. 

In a saucepan, combine garlic, half and half and beer. Over medium heat, bring liquid just to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and add in the cream cheese. Use a whisk to melt and smooth the cheese. Add in 1/4 cup white cheddar cheese, mozzarella, Gruyere cheese, and mustard. Whisk and continue to heat on low until completely melted. 

Meanwhile, bring 2 cups of water and baking soda to a boil. Reduce to low heat and, working in batches, add biscuits, cooking for about 1 minute until puffy and double in size. Remove from water with a slotted spoon and place into a 10″ ovenproof skillet around the edges. Coat with a pinch of kosher salt. 

Place cheese into the center of the dough and top with remaining white cheddar cheese. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown. Top with chopped onions and serve hot. 

Serves 8-10
