Old Kentucky Beer Cheese

I love to make this cheese. I make it a lot around Christmas for gifts, but it's great any time of the year.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 15

Ingredients

• 2  lbs sharp cheddar cheese, at room temperature
• 2  garlic cloves, mashed
• 3  tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1  teaspoon dry mustard
•  Tabasco sauce
• 6  ounces beer (may need a little more)
• 1  teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Cut cheese into cubes, place in food processor; process until smooth. Add garlic, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and Tabasco, blend well.
2. Add the beer a little at a time while blending cheese, until the cheese is a good firm spreading consistency (too much beer will make cheese fluffy so pour a little at a time).
3. Stir in salt and refrigerate.
4. Serve with slices of pumpernickel or crackers--great with cold beer.
