What to Serve with Beer Cheese Dip
Veggies: Carrot sticks, celery, sliced bell peppers, broccoli, and cauliflower florets work great.
Bread: Try sliced baguette, warm sliced pita bread, soft pretzel bites, or plain toasted bread.
Crackers: Any crackers you like will pair well with it!
Chips: Try crunchy pita chips, tortilla chips, or corn chips.
Recipe Tips
Beer: I like to use a dark-style beer for this recipe, but any beer you like will work. A dark beer will add a more complex taste compared to light-style beers. So, choose your favorite one.
Serving: Once the bacon beer cheese dip is done, you can keep it warm in the slow cooker (if yours has a warm setting). Sometimes we serve it right from the crockpot to make clean-up easier.
Leftovers: Leftover dip will keep in the refrigerator for a couple of days. It may thicken, so you might need to thin it with a little more cream when you warm it up. Crockpot cheesy bacon beer dip is so easy to make and tastes great! No party is complete without a warm cheese dip, and this one is a great recipe to try. I hope you enjoy it!
