Irish Stout Beer Cheese Dip Recipe

8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese (Note: We suggest grating a block of cheese for this recipe. Pre-shredded cheese has a coating to discourage clumping, and this prevents the cheese from melting properly.) 4 ounces cream cheese 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard 1 12 oz. Irish stout 1 cup whole milk Kosher salt

1. Grate the cheddar cheese on a grater with large holes. Cut up the cream cheese into ½-inch cubes. Set aside.
2. Melt the butter in a saucepan on medium heat until bubbling. Whisk the flour in a little at a time until fully combined. Whisk in the garlic powder, onion powder, and mustard.
3. While continuing to whisk, pour in the Irish stout and then the milk. Whisk often for a few minutes until thickened.
4. Turn heat to low. Add in the cheddar cheese and whisk until fully melted. Repeat with the cream cheese. Add salt to taste.
5. Serve immediately alongside your favorite flavor of TORTIYAHS!
