THE BEST BEER CHEESE

Tried about 5 different beer cheese recipes, and just couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. I finally found one on the McCormick website, I believe, that I jazzed up a bit. Wonderful with pretzels!

Provided by C in PA

Categories     Cheese

Time 25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces sharp white cheddar cheese
4 ounces cream cheese, room temp
1/3 cup beer (I use either light beer or a pale ale)
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
1/4 teaspoon crushed dried cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon italian seasoning

Steps:

  • In food processor, blend cheddar, cream cheese, beer, worcestershire, chili powder, mustard, red pepper, and garlic.
  • Blend for 5 minutes, or until creamy.
  • Add in parsley, blend 1 more minute.
  • Pour into bowl, cover, and chill in refrigerator.
  • Cheese will firm.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality beer. The flavor of the beer will come through in the final product, so choose one that you enjoy drinking.
  • Grate your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese is often coated with cellulose, which can make the cheese sauce grainy.
  • Cook the cheese sauce over low heat. This will help to prevent the cheese from curdling.
  • Add the beer slowly. This will help to prevent the cheese sauce from curdling.
  • Season the cheese sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Serve the cheese sauce immediately. Cheese sauce is best when it is freshly made.

Conclusion:

Beer cheese is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is perfect for dipping pretzels, vegetables, or chips. It can also be used as a topping for nachos, tacos, or burgers. No matter how you choose to enjoy it, beer cheese is sure to be a hit.
