Quick, easy to make and seriously addicting. Perfect for a delicious party snack! I like to call it by its mashed up name: Quesale.
Ingredients
2tablespoonsunsalted butter
2tablespoonsall-purpose flour
1ale beer, not hoppy
8ouncescheddar cheese, grated
1teaspoonhot sauce
½teaspoonsalt
Scallions, for garnish
Pretzels, for serving
Instructions
Pour ale beer into a large cup and stir to remove as much carbonation as possible.
In a medium pot over medium heat, add butter and melt. Once melted, add flour and whisk to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes until roux turns a light tan color.
Slowly whisk in beer. It should thicken almost immediately as you whisk it in. If it’s a little watery, continue to cook the sauce until it is the consistency of a light gravy. It shouldn’t take more than a few minutes.
Add cheese and whisk until melted. Season with salt and hot sauce.
Pour into a large bowl and garnish with finely chopped scallions. Serve immediately with hard pretzels.
