Step 1

Make sure your cheese melts well. It can be one type of cheese or a blend, as long as it will melt. You should also reach for a block of cheese and shred it yourself since pre-shredded cheeses use powders to keep them from sticking together.

Step 2

Finely shred the cheese. The finer your cheese is shredded to begin with, the easier it will melt.

Step 3

Mince garlic and pre-measure ingredients. This cooks fast and can burn easily.

Step 4

Melt butter in medium sized sauce pan, whisk in flour and cook until it forms a thick paste - only about a minute

Step 5

Stream the milk in slowly, whisking as you pour. Let sit until it thickens and is almost a foamy-type of texture. This happens pretty quickly as well so don't go anywhere.

Step 6

Add beer, worcestershire, dijon, and cream cheese. Whisk until cream cheese is melted.

Step 7

Pour cheese in steadily so it doesn't clump in one spot and burn. keep stirring until it is melted.
