- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp flour
- 1/4 C heavy cream
- 1 C extra sharp cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 C Monterey Jack or white cheddar cheese shredded
- 1/2 C beer of choice
- 2 tbsp stone ground mustard
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- pinch salt
- pinch chili powder
- 1 tsp worcestershire
In a small saucepan, melt the butter on low heat. Stir in the flour until it creates a paste. Add in the heavy cream and stir until the cream becomes thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the beer, spices, mustard, and worcestershire sauce.
Mix in the shredded cheese and stir continuously until the cheese is melted
Serve hot with your favorite pretzels
A block of cheese that you shred yourself is preferable to buying pre shredded cheese. Shredded cheese has a waxy coating that prevents it from melting as easily.
