Boston Lager Cheddar Cheese Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and salt until a paste forms. Slowly add milk; cook and stir until fully incorporated, about 2 minutes. Add cheese, stir to combine, and cook until melted, 1 to 2 minutes.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and stir with a wooden spoon or whisk to combine. Cook for a couple minutes so the flour loses its raw taste.
• Whisk in the milk, salt, mustard and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is quite thick.
• Remove the saucepan from the stove. Add the Worcestershire sauce and the cheese, and stir until the cheese is completely melted .
• Whisk in the beer, and return the saucepan to the stove. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce comes just to a bare simmer. Do not let it boil.
• Other notes, Do not use pre-grated cheese as the anti-caking agent will make the sauce grainy. I prefer medium raw milk white cheddar from Jason Wiebe Dairy. It is a sharp as any national brand labeled sharp but in general if you don't like the flavor of a cheese by itself don't cook with it. As f or beer I prefer Samuel Adams Boston Lager but any hoppy beer such as a good lager or IPA will do.
