Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter High-quality European style
  • 3 Tablespoons All-purpose Flour
  • 3/4 Cup Whole Milk Room temperature
  • 2/3 Cup Coors Banquet Beer Cold or room temp
  • 1 Teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 Teaspoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Salt Adjust to taste
  • 2 1/2 Cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese Freshly shredded from block

Equipment

  • 1 Medium saucepan Heavy-bottomed is preferred
  • 1 Whisk, To keep the sauce smooth
  • 1 Box Grater For shredding the cheese fresh

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Cheese: Shred your cheddar cheese from the block using a box grater. Set aside.
  2. Make the Roux: Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour for 1 minute until a paste forms.
  3. Add Liquids: Slowly whisk in the milk, then the Coors Banquet. Continue whisking until the mixture slightly thickens.
  4. Season: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, paprika, and salt.
  5. The Melt: Reduce heat to low. Add the shredded cheese in small handfuls, stirring constantly until smooth.
  6. Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately while warm with soft pretzels.

Notes

Always emphasize using a fresh block of cheese. Pre-shredded cheese contains cellulose which prevents a smooth melt. If the dip is too thick, add a splash more of Coors Banquet to reach your desired consistency.
