Posted: Mon Aug 05, 2019 1:51 pm
.2 tablespoons salted butter
.2 tablespoons flour
.1/2 cup milk
1 cup pale low hop beer, such as a pilsner
.1/2 teaspoon mustard
.1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
.1/2 teaspoon paprika
.Dash of Worcestershire sauce
.3 cups of sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
.salt and pepper to taste
1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for a minute or two, until the mixture has turned a nice golden brown colour. While whisking, gradually pour in the beer then the milk, both of which should thicken as they heat. Remove from heat and stir in the spices, Worcestershire sauce, and the cheese. Let the cheese melt; season to taste with salt and pepper.
COOK'S NOTE: For a peppier sauce, try spicier cheese like a pepperjack. Or, for a creamy, more tangy sauce, add a little goat cheese. Innovate to your tastes!
