Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup lager beer or brown ale
  • 1 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 2 teaspoons coarse ground mustard
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the flour and stir until a smooth paste forms, 2 to 3 minutes.
  2. Slowly add the beer while whisking constantly.
  3. In a slow and steady stream, whisk in the milk. After all the milk is added, continue whisking until the mixture slightly thickens, about 1 minute.
  4. One by one stir in the mustard, Worcestershire sauce and garlic powder.
  5. Remove from the heat and immediately add the shredded cheese. Stir until evenly incorporated. Season the cheese sauce with salt and ground black pepper to taste.

Notes

  • Shred the cheese from a block of cheese for best results.
  • Serve with soft pretzels, tortilla chips, bread, roasted fingerling potatoes, celery, blanched green beans, pita chips or crackers.
