Prep Time 15 minutes
Servings 8 servings

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 3 tbsp flour
  • 1-1 1/4 cups cream
  • 1/2 cup beer (I used Yuengling Lager)
  • 3 cups sharp cheddar, grated
  • 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 tsp mustard powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stir in the flour and continue whisking until it's fragrant and light brown, about a minute and half. Slowly stir in one cup of cream and beer and whisk until smooth.

  2. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and in three batches whisk in the cheese. Continue whisking until all the cheese is melted.

  3. If the cheese is not melting, add the extra quarter cup of cream and slowly heat on the stovetop until the cheese fully melts.

  4. Add and Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, salt and pepper and whisk until combined. Serve immediately.
