Instead of using beef meatballs with my own spaghetti sauce, I use these turkey sausage meatballs. It becomes something fantastic when Cabernet Sauvignon, freshly grated Parmesan, and Romano cheese are added.

Great with pretzels.
To be fair I couldn’t make the recipe as instructed due to only having cheddar cheese. Halved the recipe except the beer (IPA). Added beer little at a time to taste. Came out better than expected everyone loved it. Great recipe and could easily be adjusted to your preference. Will definitely make again with various cheeses. Goes great with fresh baked soft pretzels.
This was fantastic! Didn’t need to worry about transferring to something to keep it warm; I served it in a regular bowl and it was gone before it cooled down! Even the non-beer people came back for seconds.
Followed the recipe except used an IPA from a Columbus brewery. It was a stringy blob of cheese.
Wow the IPA and McCormick Seasoning packet make for an incredible addition to this cheesy dip. It makes a lot so invite friends over and enjoy
