Servings 8
Ingredients
- ¼ cup butter
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup whole milk
- ½ cup Guinness stout
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- pinch cayenne pepper
- 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese shredded (2 cups)

Instructions
- Melt butter in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat. Slowly add the flour (while whisking) and whisk until a smooth paste is formed.
- Slowly pour in the milk and Guinness, whisking as you are pouring. Whisk until smooth.
