Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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

Notes

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.
