1 cup shredded cooked chicken (preferably buffalo flavored)

1 cup canned crab meat, drained and flaked

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup beer (lager or pale ale works well)

1/4 cup hot sauce (adjust to your spice preference)

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

      Add the Meats: Gently fold in the shredded chicken and crab meat until they are evenly distributed throughout the cheese mixture.

        Incorporate Cheese and Beer: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and beer until everything is well combined.

          Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into an oven-safe baking dish, spreading it evenly.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the dip is hot, bubbly, and slightly golden on top.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Serve warm with tortilla chips or sliced baguette for dipping.
