Ingredients
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2/3 cup whole milk
2/3 cup beer (pale IPA recommended)
1/2 teaspoon Simply Organic® Ground Mustard
1/2 teaspoon Simply Organic® Garlic Powder
1/2 teaspoon Simply Organic® Onion Powder
1/4 teaspoon Simply Organic® Smoked Paprika
1/4 teaspoon sea or Himalayan pink salt
10 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
Soft pretzels, for serving
Directions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter, then whisk in flour until no lumps remain. Let it cook for 1 minute, whisking constantly.
- Slowly stream in milk, whisking until smooth and thickened, then slowly add beer, whisking constantly. Add mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt and cheese, whisking until smooth.
- Remove from heat and serve warm. Dip will continue to thicken as it cools. If it thickens too much, heat it on the stovetop again until smooth.
