- 3 Tbsp. butter
- 3 Tbsp. all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup lager beer - (additional beer for your belly is optional)
- 1 cup whole milk (half and half or heavy cream may be substituted)
- 1 tsp grainy Dijon mustard (or regular Dijon)
- 1/2 - 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
- 3 cups of your favorite cheese
- In a saucepan, melt butter. Add flour and whisk until combined.
(like you would making breakfast gravy)
- Add beer, whisking continuously as you pour, eliminating any lumps from the flour mixture. Slowly add in milk, whisking as you pour.
- Cook over MED heat, whisking often, for several minutes, until mixture has thickened. Stir in mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne.
- Add cheese, a handful at a time, and stir until completely melted.
