Ingredients
8oz block sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1/2 cup of beer (your choice but I used Blue Moon)
3/4 cup half & half
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. In a sauce pan melt the butter and add the flour, whisking to combine.
2. Next, pour in the beer, half & half, mustard, Worcestershire, garlic powder, salt, pepper and smoked paprika. Stir to combine and cook for 3-5 minutes.
3. Add the cheese a little at a time, whisking after each time so that the cheese melts. Simmer another 3-5 minutes until thickened.
4. Pour into a bowl and enjoy! You can serve this as a dip for pretzels and chips, or use as a cheese sauce for hot dogs, chicken, and more!
