Leftover Beer Recipe

(Premiere Prep)

WAYS TO USE YOUR LEFTOVER BEER

You might have partied hard over the weekend -- but fallen short. There still might be beer in your fridge.

Don't worry. There's no dishonor in this. In fact, it may be a blessing in disguise.

Here are some ways to use beer that don't involve chugging or guzzling...

1. Beer and Cheese Dip -- Put two pounds of shredded cheddar cheese in a large bowl along with a finely chopped small onion, two cloves minced garlic, a dash of hot sauce and a sprinkle of ground red pepper. Then pour in a bottle of beer and beat it all together using a hand mixer.

2. Marinate Meat - The alcohol in beer acts as a tenderizer and infuses the meat with flavor. Pour a beer, some lime juice and few cloves of minced garlic into a Ziplock bag and marinate some tasty meat.

3. Get Garden Slugs Wasted - Pour a little beer into several jar lids and place the lids in several spots around your garden. Slugs will go to the beer instead of your plants. (Look for the slugs to zig-zag home...)
