Ingredients

1 Zatarain's sausage link
2 cups cheddar cheese
2 cups mozzarella cheese
1.5 cups beer*
2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup red onion, diced
1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
1/2 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
2 tablespoons chives, finely chopped

Instructions

Cook the sausage according to the package instructions. I grilled mine for 10 minutes. Then dice the sausage into small pieces.
In a large cast iron skillet, heat the heavy cream and beer on medium heat until hot and smoking (not bubbling), about 5 minutes. Stir the mixture constantly.
In a small bowl, mix together 1 tbsp of water and 1 tbsp of arrowroot powder. Then add it to the skillet and mix until fully combined. Then begin adding the cheese, 1/4 of a cup at a time and mixing constantly until smooth. Next, stir in the sausage and half the chives.
Garnish the beer cheese dip with red onion, tomatoes, and the remaining chives. Serve hot with your favorite chips and vegetables for dipping.
