Beer Cheese Sauce with Horseradish and Bacon

The title of this recipe makes my mouth water! I mean cheese is great on its own but with beer?!? I’m in heaven!

I’m a huge fan of Cabot Cheese. I stock up on their blocked cheddar whenever it’s on sale. I’ve even converted Huck to a give up his beloved Velveeta for Cabot… Just kidding, but he loves it, too. {If you’re bored, click on the link to read about Huck’s love for all things fake yellow “cheese”}

I’m not sure I can call this a recipe. Mixing a few ingredients together seem very “Semi-Homemade” but you know what, this is great and it’s so much easier than making cheese sauce.

This sauce is amazing. The crappy packaged fries I served it over were not! I almost didn’t take photos of this recipe, but the sauce was so good, and really, this recipes isn’t for fries. I made Turkey Burgers for lunch Saturday, and Huck asked for Crinkle Cut fries. I seen something that said crispers, so I thought it meant crispier fries? In my defense, the picture on the package looks like crinkle cut fries. These were more like battered mashed potatoes, though. It was weird… I still dipped them in these cheese sauce and slathered it all over my burger.

I originally made this recipe with an IPA but it was way to bitter. I found a lager in our refrigerator that tasted much better. Sometimes I forget, just because I love IPA’s doesn’t mean that work on everything.

I’d also like to take a moment to say goodbye to the mini glass pitcher. It was so cute and perfect for pictures. That makes 3 mini glass props I’ve broke in the last few weeks. Me+Mini Glass Stuff= Disaster!

I’ll be back later this week with pictures from our Zombie Pub Crawl.
