Beer-Spiked Nacho Cheese

• 4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 4 slices American cheese, chopped
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup your favorite beer (preferably something light in color)
• several good shakes of your favorite hot sauce (we used Cholula)
• tortilla chips and pickled jalapenos, to serve

1. Combine cheeses and cornstarch in a large mixing bowl and toss to coat.
2. Heat the milk in a medium pot over low heat, then gradually whisk in the cheese until melted.
3. Add the beer and continue whisking over low heat until completely smooth.
4. Whisk in the hot sauce, then keep on low heat for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the beer to mellow.
5. If it gets too thick, add a little more milk.
6. If it seems a little runny, it will thicken as it cools.
7. Adjust until you get the consistency you like.
8. Serve warm with tortilla chips and pickled jalapenos.
