Queso Dip Preparation
- 1
Melt the Base
In a medium saucepan, combine the shredded Gouda cheese, milk, and cream cheese over medium heat. Stir continuously until the cheeses are melted and the mixture is smooth.

Add Flavorings
Once the cheese is melted and creamy, slowly add in the Michigan beer while continuing to stir. This will give the dip a unique flavor. Then, mix in the garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.

Incorporate Jalapeños
