You’ll need:
Sour dough round loaf
2 tbsp butter
3 tbsp flour
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup beer (I used an IPA)
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
3 cups sharp cheddar cheese graded
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper (for a little kick)
First in skillet melt butter and slowly add in flour and mix. Then add milk slowly a few tbsp at a time until smooth and bubbling only add 1/2 cup to start. Then add in bear and bring to bubbling about 4 minutes. Once starts to thicken and bubble add in Dijon, garlic powder and cayenne. Stir continuously and one cup at a Time add cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. To keep warm leave on low heat.
For bread bowl cut top off and hollow out middle. You can save the middle of the bread for dipping also! On a sheet pan set hollowed out bread bowl and top drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle garlic salt place into over at 400 degrees until bowl is crispy and starting to brown. Then add cheese mix to bowl and serve with your choice of veggies, meats, crackers or bread! Enjoy ?
