Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons butter
- 3 Tablespoons flour
- 1 Cup milk
- ⅔ Cup wheat beer room temp
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoons german mustard
- ¼ teaspoons salt
- ¼ teaaspoons paprika
- 4 Ounces Cheddar or Gouda Shredded
- 2 Ounces Emmentaler or Swiss cheese Shredded
- 2 Ounces Munster Shredded
Instructions
- To make the roux melt the butter over medium heat in a sauce pan. Stir in the flour, and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes. This should result in a pale roux. If you find the roux is cooking too quickly you can reduce the heat a little bit. Don't let it burn.
- Next, slowly stir in the milk, a little at a time, letting the mixture thicken before adding in more milk. Once all of the milk is added slowly stir in the room temperature beer. Stir to combine.
- Next add in the mustard, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, and salt and stir until well incorporated.
- Stir in the cheeses and stir until the sauce is smooth and all of the cheese is melted. You may refrigerate for up to 2 days at this point, eat as is, or proceed to smoking the beer cheese.
- Smoke the beer cheese for 1 hour at 225 degrees, stirring about every 20 minutes if the oil is separating from the cheeses.
- Serve warm and enjoy. Prost!
