- 10 slices bacon
- 1 shallot, finely chopped

Directions
1. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon. Drain cooked bacon on a paper-toweled lined plate. Chop roughly. Set aside.
2. In the same skillet, cook shallot and jalapeño in bacon fat until softened. (Remove some of the bacon fat if there is quite a bit in the pan. You only need a tablespoon or less.) Set aside.
3. Lightly coat a 4 quart crockpot with non-stick spray. Add cream cheese, cheddar cheese and shallot/jalapeño mixture. Pour beer over mixture. Cover and cook on low for 2 hours. Stir occasionally until dip is creamy and cheese is melted.
