Notes
Ingredients
- I recommend using a light beer for this recipe; I typically use Bud Light. If you’d like more beer flavor, feel free to add in a little more!
- This is a thick dip, so as written it’s not thin enough for dipping chips; however, you can add more sour cream and a bit of milk to thin it out if you’d like.
Storage
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Do not freeze.
