Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 12 fluid ounces Gluten-free beer
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 8 ounces Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Once the butter is melted and slightly bubbling, add the gluten-free all-purpose flour. Whisk continuously to form a roux, cooking for about 1-2 minutes until it turns lightly golden.

Step 3

Slowly pour in the gluten-free beer, whisking constantly to prevent any lumps from forming.

Step 4

Once the beer is fully incorporated, gradually add the whole milk, continuing to whisk until the mixture is smooth.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently, until it begins to thicken, about 5-6 minutes.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and softened cream cheese, stirring until all the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, ground black pepper, and salt. Mix until the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 8

Continue to cook over low heat for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese dip is warmed through and flavors are well combined.

Step 9

Remove from heat and transfer to a serving bowl. Serve the gluten-free creamy beer cheese warm with your choice of tortillas, gluten-free bread, or vegetables.
