Ingredients
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2/3 cup lager beer
3/4 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
8 ounces sharp Cheddar, freshly grated
Directions
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk it together until a thick paste has formed, about 1 minute. Pour in the beer and continuously whisk so there are no lumps. Cook the mixture to allow the alcohol to cook out from the sauce, 2 to 4 minutes. Add the whole milk, Worcestershire, mustard, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper and whisk until everything is fully incorporated. Remove the pan from the heat and add the cheese in batches, making sure all of the cheese has fully melted.
