RECIPE
IPA Beer Cheese
Ingredients
-
4 Tbsp butter
-
1/4 cup grated onion (about 1/2 medium onion)
-
3 Tbsp flour
-
2 tsp ground mustard
-
1 cup beer, like an IPA, room temp
-
1 cup whole milk or heavy cream, room temp
-
1 cup shredded sharp white cheddar cheese
-
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
-
1 tsp kosher salt
-
1 tsp freshly ground pepper
-
1-2 tsp tabasco sauce

Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the grated onion and cook until the onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the flour and ground mustard, whisking until a bubbly, thick roux has formed, about 2 minutes.
- Whisking constantly, slowly pour in the beer. Again, working very, very slowly, pour in the cream and whisk until the sauce thickens a bit, about 5 minutes.
- Add the grated cheeses and whisk until the beer cheese dip is smooth. Season with salt, pepper and Tabasco, adjusting to taste.
