Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Beer Cheese
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 tsp combined spices: onion powder, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper
- 1 cup Kentucky bourbon barrel beer (you can use the whole bottle if you want, but, I'd save some to drink while you are cooking)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup extra sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup mozarella cheese
- 1/2 cup gruyere cheese
- 1 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
- 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Melt butter in a heavy bottom pot. Stir in flour and spices. Cook over low to medium heat for about a minute, stirring to keep from scorching.
- Add the beer and bring to a boil. Whisk frequently to blend. Then add the cream. Bring back to a boil and continue whisking.
- Ad in the cheese and whisk until it is all melted and blended smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire. Serve hot with pretzels, bread, vegetables, and/or fruits like grapes or Green apples.
