My tangy, smoky dip won the top prize in our office party recipe contest. Other beers can work for this, but be sure to steer clear of dark varieties. —Ashley Lecker, Green Bay, Wisconsin

Test Kitchen tips
  • Your favorite ale will also work in this recipe. The Test Kitchen loved the flavor of New Belgium Fat Tire.
  • To lighten this up, use reduced-fat cream cheese, light sour cream, half-and-half and reduced-fat shredded cheese. Decrease the bacon to 3/4 lb.
