Instructions for Sausage & Beer Cheese Dip
- Using an indirect setting, heat smoker to low-medium heat with charcoal and toss in some pecan wood chips. Use a baking sheet, or cast iron skillet to smoke the ground sausage. While the sausage is cooking, toss the peppers on the grill to smoke as well. Smoke for about 45 minutes to an hour.
- After the smoke, remove seeds and stems for peppers and finely chop.
- Heat a medium sauce pan to medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the red onion and saute for 3-5 min.
- Once onions soften, add the ground sausage, diced peppers, and flour. Stir well to make sure the ingredients in pan are coated with the flour. Then add your beer and simmer for 5 min.
- Reduce the heat to low and add all cheeses. Stir often to prevent sticking or burning.
- Once everything is a smooth consistency, incorporate the mustard.
- Serve and Enjoy!
