Easy Pretzel Ring with Beer Cheese Dip #SundayFunday

This is a super simple way to make pretzels starting with refrigerated biscuit dough.  Make a ring of dough in a cast iron skillet.  Fill the inside with beer cheese.  Bake and serve in the same pan.  So easy and so good.  

The Sunday Funday Bloggers are celebrating St. Patrick's Day.......

Our friend and fellow administrator, Sue of Palatable Pastime, needed a hiatus from blogging responsibilities for a bit.  Our friend, Camilla of Culinary Cam, graciously agreed to take over the 3rd week of each month and the occasional 5th Sunday when they occur.

Thanks Cam.  This theme was chosen by Sue before she left and Cam decided to stick with it, inviting us to "Share your favorite Irish recipe or anything you would serve on St. Patrick's Day."

Let's take a look at what everyone brought to the St. Patrick's Day celebration......

• Easy Pretzel Ring with Beer Cheese Dip by A Day in the Life on the Farm
• Irish Beef Guinness Stew by Culinary Cam
• Pan-fried Cod with Colcannon Sauce by Food Lust People Love
• St. Patrick’s Day Brownie Bites Amy's Cooking Adventures

Since Monday is St. Patrick's Day we are enjoying an American Traditional Corned Beef and Cabbage Dinner.  My friend, Fr. Rooney, from Ireland, told me he had never heard of Corned Beef for St. Pat's day until he moved to the USA.

I had planned more celebrations but I got the creeping crud and it has taken me all week to get through it.  I think I have turned the corner, but unfortunately, the birthday dinners I had planned for my brother and my Marina had to be canceled.

This easy dish is perfect to start your St. Patrick's Day festivities.  It takes about 15 minutes to prepare and about half an hour to bake so you can have it in the oven and the cleanup done before your guests arrive.

Easy Pretzel Ring with Beer Cheese Dip

This is a super simple way to make pretzels starting with refrigerated biscuit dough. Make a ring of dough in a cast iron skillet. Fill the inside with beer cheese. Bake and serve in the same pan. So easy and so good.  

Prep time: 15 MinCook time: 30 MinTotal time: 45 Min

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 c. shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, room temperature
• 1 1/2 T. Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 c. pale ale
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 can refrigerated biscuits
• 2 T. baking soda
• 1 egg whisked with 1 T. water
• Coarse Kosher Salt

Instructions

1. Place the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, mustard, and garlic into the bowl of a food processor. Season with salt and pepper, Pulse 2 or 3 times until combined. Set aside.
2. Cut each biscuit in half and roll each half into a ball. Use a sharp knife to make an x on the top of each.
3. Place 2 cups of water and the baking soda into a small saucepan, whisking to dissolve. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer. Add the biscuits, in batches, cooking until puffy, about 1 minute. Remove from the water with a slotted spoon and transfer to a cast iron skillet, forming a ring around the edge.
4. Brush the pretzel balls with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse salt. Spoon the dip into the center of the pretzel ring and bake in a preheated 350* oven for about half an hour, until pretzels are golden and the dip is hot and bubbly.
