Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan or skillet over medium-low heat. Add the flour and whisk into a thick roux. Cook for 1 minute to cook off the raw flour taste.
- Step 2
Slowly add the whole milk and beer, whisking constantly, until the sauce is completely smooth. Bring the dip to a gentle simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the dip is slightly thickened. Then, stir in the Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
- Step 3
Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the cheese one handful at a time, making sure the cheese is completely melted before adding more. Stir until the dip is completely melty and smooth. Taste and add more seasonings, if needed. Pour the dip into a serving bowl and garnish it with fresh chives, if using. Serve the dip immediately with soft pretzels and enjoy!
