Ingredients

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup beer , your favorite (I prefer Oktoberfest beer)
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
12 oz. extra sharp cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese) , shredded (about 3 cups shredded)

Instructions

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and cook for 30 seconds while whisking.
Slowly whisk in the beer and then the milk. Cook and whisk until thickened (about 5-7 minutes). Whisk in the mustard, Worcestershire and salt until combined.
Remove from heat and gradually whisk in the shredded cheese a small amount at a time. Whisk until completely melted and lumps no longer remain. (If after 5 minutes of whisking all the cheese there are still lumps remaining, transfer to microwave safe dish and heat then whisk in 10 seconds intervals until lump-free.)
Transfer to bowl and serve immediately, or transfer to mini Crock Pot to keep warm. Refrigerate leftovers and reheat on stovetop or microwave, or serve cold.
