I have this same cookbook and it has many recipes that I really love in it but this one was not very good. It sounds great - Cheddar and Beer, what's not to love? The taste though is very sharp, the onions don't blend in with the other flavors, and the beer leaves a sour after taste in your mouth. I was really bummed because it sounds great. Thank you for posting though!
