Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 ½ teaspoons prepared horseradish
  • 1 cup beer (I used a light lager style brew,)
  • 8 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
  • ¾ cup half & half
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • salt and pepper (to taste)

Instruction

  • Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. When the butter has melted and begins to foam, add the flour and whisk; cook 2 to 3 minutes to cook the rawness out of the flour. Add garlic, horseradish, paprika. Whisk to combine.
  • Slowly add beer a little at a time, whisking during each incorporation. The beer will foam up a little and it may seem like it will not stop, but it will. Whisk until smooth.
  • Add in half & half, Worcestershire and cheese; whisk it has melted and the mixture is smooth. Keep warm until ready to serve, whisking occasionally.
