Notes
-
- Scaling--This Guinness cheese dip recipe was created for a small 6-inch skillet, which is perfect for feeding 4 to 5 people. To make a big batch, double the amounts and prepare it in a 10-inch skillet.
-
- Keep the heat low--Melt the cheese over low heat. I can't stress the importance of this enough. Don't try to rush it. Letting the mixture get too hot can cause the cheese to separate and become grainy.
-
- Keep it warm--The dip will thicken considerably as it sits. To keep it from setting up, keep it on the edge of your grill grate or over very low heat on your stove.
- Storage and reheating--Store leftover dip in a sealed container in your fridge or cooler for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat until warmed through.
