Notes
- For the smoothest sauce, ensure the cheese is at room temperature before adding it to the saucepan. This helps it melt more evenly.
- Don't let the sauce boil once the cheese is added, as this can cause the cheese to separate and become oily.
- If the dip becomes too thick upon cooling, gently reheat it over low heat, whisking in a tablespoon or two of milk until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Store any leftover beer cheese in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
