three cheese pumpkin beer queso___________________________A jazzy autumnal fixture for your gameday snack boards.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp salted butter
- 1/2 yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1 cup pumpkin beer
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded havarti cheese
- 2 tbsp all purpose flour
- avocado, fresh cilantro, and pumpkin seeds, to garnish
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large skillet or a sauce pot. Saute onion and garlic for 4-5 minutes, until softened and fragrant. Stir in the cinnamon and nutmeg, then pour the pumpkin beer. Let simmer gently for 3-4 minutes. Whisk in the milk and cream cheese until the cream cheese melts and is smooth.
- Toss the cheeses with the flour. Gradually add the cheeses, a small handful at a time, into the skillet, whisking thoroughly in between each addition until the cheese melts. If preparing other food, lower the heat to keep the queso warm.
- Garnish with avocado slices, cilantro, and pumpkin seeds. Serve with tortilla chips, a big snackboard (one coming soon to FMG!), or fresh cut veggies, as desired.
