Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 2 Tablespoons Flour
  • 1 Cup Lager Beer
  • 1/2 Cup Whole Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Mustard
  • 1-2 teaspoons Hot Sauce optional
  • 2-3 Cups Shredded Cheddar/Jack Cheese*
  • Salt/Pepper - to taste

Instructions

  • Melt butter in medium sized pot over medium heat. Add flour, whisk and cook 30-60 seconds or until lightly golden and bubbling.
  • Slowly add beer while whisking.
  • Add milk, garlic powder, worcestershire sauce, mustard and hot sauce. Whisk.
  • Bring mixture to a light simmer.
  • Turn off burner. Slowly add in shredded cheese while whisking between each addition.**
  • Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve warm with pretzels, crackers, chips and/or veggies.

Notes

*Add 2 cups of cheese for a thinner dip consistency. Add up to 1 more cup of cheese to thicken if preferred.
**Do not add the cheese while the beer mixture is still boiling. Adding cheese when it is too hot could cause the dip to be grainy or separate.
