Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¾ cup whole milk
½ cup beer a lager or ale would be great
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons stone ground mustard
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Add the butter to a small saucepan set over medium heat.
Once the butter has melted, add the flour and whisk until a paste forms.
Slowly add the milk, whisking constantly. Next whisk in the beer.
Continue whisking until no lumps of flour remain. Cook the mixture for 1-2 minutes or until it begins to bubble and thicken.
Then, add the mozzarella, cheddar, garlic powder, and mustard.
Mix until the cheeses are fully melted-- about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Remove the dip from the heat and serve with vegetables, sliced apples, or warm pretzels.

Notes

This dip is best enjoyed on the day it is made and it can be kept warm in a slow cooker on the lowest setting-- just make sure to stir it occasionally so it doesn't form a skin on top.
