Ingredients
2
cloves
minced garlic
or one teaspoon
¼
cup
butter or margarine
¼
cup
flour
1
can
12 oz regular or nonalcoholic beer of choice
(nothing too bitter or "hoppy")
6
cups
shredded mild Cheddar cheese
1½ lb
1
cup
shredded pepper jack
can use Colby Jack if you'd rather no spice
¼
cup
cream cheese
Fresh ground salt and pepper
to taste
1-2
teaspoons
chopped jalapeños
can omit if desired
Green onion
chopped, if desired
Instructions
Over medium-low heat, add garlic to medium saucepan.
Add butter, whisk gently until garlic starts to golden brown slightly; season with salt and pepper.
Add flour; whisk until it forms a roux (about 2 minutes or so).
Stir in beer and turn heat to medium-high; heat to boiling.
Boil 2-3 minutes, thickening the beer with the roux until it’s thick and smooth.
Season with salt and pepper again; reduce heat to low.
Add in cheddar cheese one ½ cup at a time, whisk slowly and thoroughly until mixed before adding more cheese.
Once cheddar has all been added, add in the pepper jack (or Colby Jack) and then cream cheese until mixed thorough.
Season once more to taste before serving.
Optional – add in jalapeños when you add in the cheese.
Optional – top with green onions as a garnish.
