- Category: Appetizer
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 T unsalted butter
- 3 T AP flour
- 1/2 C light beer
- 1 – 1/2 C of 2% milk (depending on thickness preference)
- 4 C shredded cheddar (pepper jack, coby, white or yellow cheddar – or a blend)
- 2 T diced Jalapeño
- 1 minced garlic clove
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Heat butter in heavy bottom pan on medium heat until melted and then add flour. Whisk 3-5 minutes or until flour taste is cooked out.
- Slowly whisk in beer – it will be pasty – don’t worry – you’ve got this!
- Slowly whisk in milk. If it looks like it’s separating, whisk faster and add milk even more slowly until incorporated.
- Add diced jalapeño and minced garlic; bring sauce up in temperature to just before boiling point slowly, at medium low to medium heat. You’ll notice it start to thicken.
- Here comes the fun part. Whisk in shredded cheese a little at a time until completely melted.
- Once completely melted, remove from heat and cool slightly.
Notes
Destroy cheese dip with veggies, pretzels, chips or just a spoon. No judgement here.
