I made this great beer-cheese sauce the other night and poured it all over grilled hamburgers. The end result was crazy good.

- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon ground mustard
- ¾ cup beer more or less depending on the desired consistency
- ½ cup half-and-half cream
- 1 ½ cups extra sharp cheddar cheese grated
- 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
- green onions chopped, for garnish
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Whisk in the flour and mustard powder and cook for 1-2 minutes or until the flour is cooked but not brown.
Whisk in the beer and bring to a simmer.
Whisk in the half-and-half and let simmer, whisking constantly until thickened. If too thick, add more beer in very small amounts.
Add the cheese and horseradish and stir until melted.
Fold in the chives or green onions and serve.
