Football’s back and Oktoberfest is underway (even if it’s only in spirit) which makes it the ideal time to give this Bavarian cheese dip from Bronwyn & T&B Pizza‘s chef-owner Tim Wiechmann a shot. It’s simple, fun, and goes well with pretzels, crackers, chips or just about anything dippable. Pair it with some German beers and give your game day a Oktoberfest-ish twist.
