Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 cup beer
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard (smooth or grainy)
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 2 cups (8 ounces) freshly-shredded cheese (I used half sharp cheddar half smoked gouda)
  • sea salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Make the roux. Heat butter in a large saucepan or sauté pan over medium-high heat until melted.  Add flour, and whisk until completely combined.
  • Add the remaining ingredients. Add in the beer, milk, Dijon, Worcestershire and smoked paprika. Whisk until smooth. Continue cooking until the mixture has thickened and almost reached a simmer. Reduce the heat to low. Add in the cheese one handful at a time and whisk until smooth.
  • Season. Taste and season the dip with salt and pepper, as needed.
  • Serve. Serve immediately and enjoy! (The dip will thicken a bit the longer it sets.)
