If you are looking for something to celebrate, today (April 24, 2014) marks National Pigs-In-A-Blanket day. Bring it on!
This recipe is provided by Colman’s Mustard and uses its Dry Powder Mustard to create a condiment to create this Warm Beer and Cheddar Dip. By adding the secret ingredient (Colman’s Dry Mustard Powder) into the mix, the product’s invigorating blend of high-quality brown and white mustard seeds gives the dip a unique, zesty kick.
Be sure to add the cheese slowly, allowing each batch to melt before adding more, to ensure smooth results.
