1 (16 ounce) package hot bread roll mix with yeast 
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese 
1 1/4 cups beer 
1 egg, beaten 
2 tablespoons kosher salt 
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, diced and softened 
1 (8 ounce) package processed cheese, cubed 
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder 
1/2 cup beer, room temperature 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). 
In a medium bowl, mix the hot bread roll mix with yeast and Cheddar cheese. In a microwave or small saucepan, heat the beer to almost boiling. Stir beer and egg into the flour mixture and knead 5 minutes. Allow the dough to rest 5 minutes, then roll into desired shape. Sprinkle with kosher salt. Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. In a food processor, blend the cream cheese, processed cheese, garlic powder and room temperature beer. Refrigerate until serving with the baked dough.
