Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 cup beer
1 pound extra-sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste

Steps:

Pour beer into a bowl and whisk until beer loses its carbonation, about 30 seconds. Set aside.
Place shredded cheese into the work bowl of a food processor; add garlic, dry mustard powder, black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, salt, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and flat beer.
Process until smooth and creamy, pulsing a few times, scraping the sides, and blending for about 2 total minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning. If adding more seasoning, pulse a few times to mix.
Transfer cheese spread to a bowl and sprinkle with a pinch of cayenne pepper. Spread tastes best when refrigerated overnight to blend flavors, but it can be served right away if needed.

BEER-CHEESE BURGERS

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon mustard powder
3/4 cup beer
1/2 cup half-and-half
6 ounces grated sharp yellow cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon horseradish
1 1/2 pounds ground beef, preferably chuck
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Vegetable oil, for the grill
4 poppy seed rolls, split
Tomato slices, for topping
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

Preheat a grill to medium high. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and mustard powder and cook, stirring, 3 minutes. Whisk in the beer and bring to a simmer; whisk in the half-and-half until smooth. Return the sauce to a simmer and cook, whisking occasionally, until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the cheese and horseradish until smooth; keep warm.
Form the beef into four 6-ounce patties, about 3/4 inch thick; press the center of each patty with your thumb to make a 1/2-inch-deep indentation. Season the patties on both sides with salt and pepper. Lightly brush the grill grates with vegetable oil, then grill the patties, indentation-side up, until marked on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until marked and slightly firm, about 3 more minutes for medium doneness. Remove the patties to a plate and let rest 5 minutes. Grill the rolls, cut-side down, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute.
Top the bun bottoms with the burger patties, cheese sauce, tomato and chives. Cover with the bun tops.
