Tips:
- Use a good quality beer for the best flavor. A dark beer will give the cheese a richer flavor, while a lighter beer will result in a milder flavor.
- Shred your own cheese for the best results. Pre-shredded cheese contains cellulose, which can make the cheese sauce grainy.
- Don't overcook the cheese sauce. It should be melted and smooth, but not thick and rubbery.
- Serve the mac and beer cheese cups immediately, while they are hot and bubbly.
- Garnish the mac and beer cheese cups with chopped green onions, bacon, or bread crumbs for extra flavor.
