2 lbs. sharp Cheddar cheese, at room temp.
2 cloves garlic, mashed
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dry mustard
Tabasco to taste
1/2 bottle beer, or more as rec.
1 teaspoon salt, to taste
Cut the cheese into cubes and place them in a food processor or electric mixer. Process until perfectly smooth. 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.) Serve on small slices of rye or pumpernickel bread. Delicious with cold, cold beer.
Serves 15 to 20.
