Crockpot Slow Cooker Beer & Brat Pretzel Cheese Dip Recipe
For me, convenience is so important when I’m making game-day foods. That’s one of the reasons I like to use Johnsonville sausage in my recipes; they’re already fully spiced and easy to cook with, saving me time! Here’s what I would submit if I were on the show, my slow cooker brat & beer cheese dip. It’s perfect for dipping warm pretzels in!

- 4 bags shredded sharp cheddar cheese

- green onion sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
- Dump half of chicken broth and the rest of ingredients (except green onions) into a slow cooker. Cook on low for 3-4 hours or until cheese is melted. Add more chicken brother for a smoother consistency every hour or so.

I love the way the slow cooker helps all of the amazing flavors blend together.
The dip makes a nice game day food because it’s hearty enough to help compensate if I run out of other foods.
