0.25 cup butter
0.25 cup all-purpose flour
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon pepper
0.25 teaspoon dry mustard
0.25 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 drops hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®)
1 cup whole milk
0.5 cup beer
0.5 pound Cheddar cheese, shredded
6 slices bread
Gather all ingredients.
Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and hot pepper sauce. Cook and stir until smooth and bubbly, about 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Gradually stir in milk, then return to heat and stir continuously until mixture comes to a boil. Slowly pour in beer; cook and stir for 1 minute.
Melt Cheddar cheese into mixture in small portions until completely incorporated. Set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
Toast bread slices on 1 side. Arrange on a baking sheet with the untoasted side facing up.
Spoon cheese sauce over untoasted side.
Cook under the preheated broiler until cheese sauce is bubbling and golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve hot.
