Ok, a beer-cheese sauce is fitting, so here is an option.
Ingredients
- •3-4 tbsp butter
- •3 tbsp flour
- •1 cup milk
- •2/3 cup beer
- •1 tsp dijon mustard
- •1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- •1/4 tsp each: salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder
- •~2 cups freshly grated cheese
Directions
- On low heat, melt the butter in a pan, add the flour, and stir until cooked, approximately 1 minute.
- Slowly add the milk, beer, dijon mustard, and Worcestershire.
- Add the salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
- Stir until all combined.
- Add the freshly grated cheese — try to avoid the starchy pre-shredded bags.
- Stir until smooth. If too thick, add a little milk. If too thin, add more cheese!
- Sauce will thicken as it cools.
Beer Pairing
- •Dark beers — stouts and dark ales are a super great contrast in flavor for the Beer Nugget.
- •Light beers — Pilsners are among my favorite here, but other ales and lagers too are awesome! What micro brew is in your area you can sample in this recipe?
