Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter, flour, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and salt over medium heat. Cook for 1 minute.
- Stir in milk and beer a bit at a time, whisking until smooth after each addition. Continue cooking over medium heat, add in mustard and Worcestershire, cooking sauce until thick and bubbly.
- Turn off the heat and add the cheddar and Gruyere cheese. Stir until melted and smooth.
- Serve warm with vegetables, tortilla chips or soft pretzels.
Notes
- Cheese: 1 cup of cheese weighs 4oz. Shred the cheese yourself for a smooth sauce. Pre-shredded cheeses can have additives that keep them from melting smoothly. Do not overheat the cheese, or it can become grainy in texture.
- Ensure you're using bold cheeses with lots of flavor, such as sharp cheddar.
- Beer: A darker beer will have a more bitter beer flavor, while a lighter beer will produce a lighter beer flavor. Either will work in this recipe.
- Keep warm on a cheese fondue warmer or in a mini crock pot.
- Serving size: 3 tablespoons
