Old Kentucky Beer Cheese

Source of Recipe


From "The Heritage of Southern Cooking" by Camille Glenn



List of Ingredients



• 2 pounds sharp Cheddar cheese, at room temperature
  
• 2 cloves garlic, mashed
  
• 3 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  
• 1 tsp dry mustard
  
• Tabasco sauce, to taste
  
• ½ bottle beer, or more as necessary
  
• 1 tsp salt, or to taste
  






Instructions



1. Cut the cheese into cubes and place them in a food processor or electric mixer. Process until perfectly smooth.
   
   
2. Add the garlic, Worcestershire, mustard, and Tabasco. Blend well. Add the beer, a little at a time, while continuing to beat the cheese, until the mixture is a good, firm spreading consistency. (Too much beer will make the cheese too fluffy.) Stir in the salt and refrigerate. (This is a superb keeper.)
   
   
3. Serve on small slices of rye or pumpernickel bread, or on crackers. Delicious with cold, cold beer.
