Ingredients

  • 12 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 (12 ounce) bottle beer, preferably brown ale
  • 5 ounces evaporated milk
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • Kosher salt, to taste

Method

  • Toss cheese with cornstarch in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Whisk together beer, milk, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat until gently steaming, whisking frequently to prevent scorching.
  • When beer mixture is warm, add cheese, stirring until completely melted, bubbling slightly, and thickened. Stir in hot sauce and season with salt to taste; serve immediately.
