And the award for the Quickest-Devoured Game Day Snack goes to: our Black Magic Beer Cheese Dip. 

 "I love melty cheeses as much as funky ones. Black Magic does all the work to compliment a sharp cheddar and deep rich lager. Oh, and shred the cheese yourself. Pre-shredded cheese often doesn't melt well." - Chef Christian. Watch the recipe video below! 

Black Magic Beer Cheese

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp Spiceology Black Magic Cajun Blackening Blend

  • 2 cups Whole Milk

  • 1 cup Dark lager or light lager

  • 4 cups Sharp White Cheddar (shred fresh yourself)

  • 3 cups Pecorino Romano or Mozzarella (shred fresh yourself)

  • 1/4 cup Butter

  • 1/4 cup AP Flour

  • 2 Tbsp Spicy Brown Mustard

  • 2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce

  • 2 Tbsp Your Favorite Hot Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Green Onions (sliced)

  • 1 Tbsp Kosher salt

Directions

  1. In a medium stockpot or Dutch oven, melt butter and add flour to create a roux. Add mustard, Worcestershire, hot sauce, and black magic to the roux and cook for 2-3 minutes on medium low heat.

  2. Add 1 cup of milk and begin to thicken the roux.

  3. Slowly add 1 cup of beer and whisk thoroughly. As sauce begins to tighten up, add remaining cup of milk.

  4. Bring to a light boil, reduce heat to low and add 1/2 the cheese. Slowly fold in the cheese gently. Whisk until smooth, add remaining cheese and 1 tbsp of salt.

  5. Whisk until fully melted and incorporated. Add 1/4 cup of sliced green onions.

  6. Reduce heat to simmer stirring occasionally.

  7. Ladle into a bowl or remove from heat, add remaining green onions and serve with your favorite party side or game day chips and pretzels.
