Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Gouda cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup light beer
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
Instructions
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cream cheese to the saucepan, stirring until it's fully melted and smooth.
Slowly whisk in the heavy cream until the mixture is well combined.
Gradually add the shredded cheddar and Gouda cheeses, a handful at a time, stirring constantly until each addition is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Pour in the beer slowly while stirring to avoid any separation of the cheese mixture.
Stir in the Dijon mustard, hot sauce, paprika, salt, and black pepper until fully incorporated.
Increase the heat slightly and continue stirring until the cheese sauce is thick and creamy, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow it to cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped green onions and serve warm with low-carb bread, vegetables, or as a sauce for your favorite keto recipe.
