Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Whisking constantly, gradually add the flour. Cook for 1 more minute.
- Gradually whisk in the beer and half-and-half. Cook, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens and just begins to bubble, about 5-7 minutes. Reduce the heat to very low and gradually add the cheeses, whisking constantly, until melted and combined. Remove from the heat.
- Whisk in the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic, powder, and cayenne pepper. Serve immediately, or keep warm in a fondue pot or on the “warm” setting in a Crock Pot.
Notes
- Use an orange cheddar cheese (not white cheddar) to give the dip its classic yellow color.
- Whisk and stir constantly as the dip cooks so that it keeps that smooth, creamy texture.
- Add the cream and cheese to the pan gradually so that the ingredients can incorporate smoothly.
- Do not let the cheese mixture get too hot, or the cheese will develop a grainy texture.
