Beer Cheese Dip

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2/3 cup beer
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk together for about 1 minute.
  2. In a slow and steady stream, whisk in the milk. After it’s all added, continue whisking until it slightly thickens, about 1 minute.
  3. One at a time, whisk in the remaining ingredients.
  4. Remove the cheese dip from heat and pour into a serving dish. Sprinkle with extra cheese, if desired. The dip will be thin right off the stove but will begin to thicken after a few minutes.
  5. Cover and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Heat over stovetop or in the microwave before serving again.
