Chele's Beer Cheese
- 1 (16 ounce) sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 (32 ounce) box Velveeta cheese, cubed
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (at room temperature)
- 1 (12 ounce) bottle beer
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 (16 ounce) Hawaiian sweet bread
- Place velveeta and cheddar in a microwave safe bowl, and on medium power microwave 1 minute.
- Take out and stir.
- Continue at 30 second intervals until cheese is completely melted.
- Add cream cheese and mix together well.
- Add beer a bit at a time while continuing to stir until the mixture is creamy.
- It will look lumpy at first, like it is curdling or separating but it's fine.
- Keep stirring and it will get creamy.
- You can reheat in small intervals if necessary if the cheese thickens up too much before all of the beer is incorporated.
- After the beer is incorporated and the mixture is creamy, add the garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco.
- Of course spice is personal, so feel free to add more or less to suite your personal taste.
- To serve, cut a hole in the middle of the Hawaiian bread to make a "bowl" for the cheese.
- Keep the center of the bread and cut it into about 2" cubes to dip or put a spoon in the cheese, to encourage folks to spoon the cheese over the bread.
- If it's a large gathering, I usually cube the bread in a basket, and put the cheese on the side in a bowl or crock.
