2 bricks of softened cream cheese
1 250g carton of sour cream
1 package of Dry mix - Ranch Dressing (like Hidden Valley)
1/2 -3/4 can of beer ( full bodied beer, as opposed to a light will give you a better flavor)
2 cups shredded cheese (preferably finely grated)
bacon bits (optional garnish)
green onions (optional garnish)
Mix cream cheese, sour cream, dressing, and beer til you reach your desired creamy consistency.
Then mix in 1/2 cup of cheese, leaving the remaining cheese to sprinkle on top.
Refrigerate overnight to let the flavors marinade or at least 3 hours before.
Before serving, garnish with bacon bits and green onions.
Serve with pretzels or scoops.
