This spreadable beer cheese is a quick and easy combo of cheddar cheese and your favorite beer, and will soon be a regular guest at all your parties!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound sharp cheddar cheese, room temperature and cut into chunks
  • 12 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 6 ounces of beer (about 1/2 bottle or can)

Instructions

  1. Put cheese into food processor and process until cheese is chopped finely.
  2. Add garlic, Worcestershire sauce and mustard and process until blended well with the cheese.
  3. With the processor running, pour the beer in small increments into the cheese mixture. Turn off the food processor after each addition to check the consistency – you want the cheese to be soft and spreadable. You should also push the cheese down from the sides with a spatula each time you check it. You will probably not need all the beer, but use as much as it takes to get the cheese the consistency that you like!
  4. Serve the cheese with crackers, cut up celery or anything else you like – and don’t let the leftover beer go to waste!

Equipment We Used to Make This Recipe

Notes

 

Garlic: The garlic flavor is front and center if you use both cloves (which I love!) but if you want it more subtle, stick with one clove.

Cheese: You can go with mild, regular or sharp cheddar cheese.  Use the block kind, not the pre-shredded.

Beer: Any kind will work.  I like milder beer for this recipe, but use your favorite!
