Instructions
- 1
Toss the shredded cheddar with the cornstarch in a bowl. This keeps it from clumping.
- 2
Warm the beer gently in a saucepan over low heat. Do not let it boil.
- 3
Add the cream cheese. Whisk until it is melted and smooth.
- 4
Stir in the cheddar cheese one handful at a time. Let each handful melt before adding more.
- 5
Stir in the garlic powder, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.
- 6
Keep stirring over low heat until the dip is smooth and glossy.
- 7
Pour into a serving bowl and serve warm.
Chef's tips
Keep the burner on low heat throughout. Boiling can make the cheese separate and turn grainy. A clean, mild lager works best.
Storage
Refrigerate up to 4 days.
Reheating
Reheat gently over low heat, stirring constantly and adding a splash of beer if needed.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Using high heat, which makes the cheese sauce separate
- •Adding the cheese too quickly, which causes clumping
