• servings: 4 servings
• total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

2 tablespoons salted butter (¼ stick)

1 onion (finely chopped)

⅓ cup all-purpose flour

1¾ cups low-sodium vegetable stock

1 cup milk (room temperature)

kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

15 ounces sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)

6 ounces pale ale beer (½ bottle)

crumbled feta cheese (optional, for garnish)

crusty bread (optional, for serving)

Directions

Melt

Heat a 4-quart saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt.

Cook the onion in the butter until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the flour, vegetable stock, milk, and salt and pepper, stirring to combine.

Simmer

Allow to simmer until thickened to your liking, about 8 minutes.

Add in the cheddar and beer and stir to combine. The cheese should melt almost immediately. Cook to heat through about 2 more minutes.

Serve immediately, topped with crumbled feta and crusty bread. Enjoy!
