I have made this recipe a couple of times already and everyone loved it. I used a little less cheese (sharp cheddar) and a little more beer to give it a smoother consistency.

I make one very simalar to this. But I use equal parts cream cheese and sour cream. Using a dark beer (gives a good beer flavor) to thin it to a spreadable consistancy. However, it's better if you thin it and then allow it to chill before using, helps thicken it up to a great spreadable dip. We like it best with the pretzel chips. Yummy!

Sorry for being so vague.....8 oz (weight) of shredded cheese = 2 cups (dry measure volume). You can check using a kitchen scale. You may also check the packages of shredded cheese at the grocery store. The small package is 8 oz/2 cups and the larger packages is 12 oz/3 cups.

kimmik22...please check your facts before criticizing the recipe. 8 oz shredded cheese = 8 ounces. Get out your kitchen scale or check the Kraft cheese packages at the grocery store.

I entered this in a Super Bowl Appetizer Contest we had at work and I won 1st place! I wanted something easy to fix and take and this was great! I used sharp cheddar and Miller Light and besides the pretzels also great with garlic melba rounds.

kimmik22 Sense when is 2 Cups = 8 ounces? That would be 16 oz for 2 cups.

16 ounces = 2 cups in LIQUID measure. The cheese is in ounces by weight, 8 ounces of shredded cheese = 2 cups by volume.
