"When I was living in Brooklyn as a twentysomething, my three roommates and I loved to throw parties. We all had varying levels of interests in the food spread. One year I was so Ina Garten I made my own mayo for homemade French onion dip. In a perpetual cycle of sleep deprivation with a 7-month-old and 3-year-old, I look back and laugh at that ambitious hostess now - who was I?!"
"To make the dip, you stir together a block of cream cheese, with shredded sharp cheddar - you can be flexible here: I've made this with a cup of cheddar for a more cream cheese-forward dip or up to 2 cups of cheddar if you want it thicker - 2 tablespoons of Guinness, and 1/2 teaspoon of caraway seeds. Bonus points if you want to top with chopped chives, but it's not necessary."
A simple pub-style dip combines a block of cream cheese with shredded sharp cheddar, 2 tablespoons of Guinness, and 1/2 teaspoon of caraway seeds. Cheese amount can vary from about 1 cup for a creamier dip up to 2 cups for a thicker texture. Optional chopped chives can top the dip. No baking or chilling is required; the dip is ready in about five minutes (closer to two with pre-shredded cheese). The anise-like caraway paired with cheddar and sweet beer creates a distinctive flavor. Serve with pretzels, potato chips, or a baguette for game-day gatherings.
