Description

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
• 3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup milk, divided
• 1/2 cup beer (a lager or an ale - your preference)
• 1 tsp. dijon mustard
• 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper (plus more for garnish)
• 3 cups shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese

Directions

• In a medium sauce pan over medium heat melt the better. Whisk in the flour. Take the pan off of the heat and whisk in 2 tablespoons of the milk until smooth. Then whisk in 2 more tablespoons. Add 1/4 cup of the milk and whisk that until smooth followed by the final 1/4 cup of milk. Stir in the beer, dijon, garlic powder, salt and cayenne. Return the pan to medium heat and stir until thick and bubbling, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat. Add the cheese one big handful at a time, whisking after each addition to melt it in. Taste and add more garlic, salt and cayenne if desired. Garnish with a pinch more of cayenne.
