I doubled the recipe & as written it came out more like a cheese sauce. I wish I had added an extra 1-2c chicken broth. But it was very tasty! Except the kids wouldn't eat it. :( I used an extremely flavorful Belgian Doppelbock. I also skipped the bread bowls since we don't care for them. Made for Aussie swap 1/10.

This was a great beer cheese recipe! I didn't have any American cheese, so I used a mixture of Velveeta, cheddar, and marble jack. Also used skim milk instead of half and half. I didn't put them into the bread bowls, either. (My DH hates them.) Turned out very creamy and delicious! I threw in some broccoli and cauliflower for substance after the initial taste tasting. Perfect portion size for two! Thanks!
