Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 8 ounces ground chorizo
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ cup milk
- ¾ cup Ale-style beer
- 1 teaspoon ground mustard powder
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 12 ounces sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 6 ounces smoked gouda shredded

Instructions
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground chorizo and cook until it is fully browned and cooked through. Drain grease and set to the side.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Create a roux by adding the flour to the melted butter. Stir continuously as flour cooks for 2-3 minutes.
- Slowly add milk and then beer to the roux, whisking until it is fully combined.
- Turn the heat up to medium-high and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Add ground mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce (if using). Continue cooking for 5-6 minutes or until the mixture thickens.

- Add cooked chorizo and stir to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.
