Instructions

Make the Roux:
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter.
Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until a thick paste forms.
Add Liquids:
Gradually pour in beer and milk while whisking continuously.
Cook until mixture thickens, about 3–4 minutes.
Season:
Stir in Dijon mustard, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Add Cheese:
Reduce heat to low and gradually stir in shredded cheddar and mozzarella until melted and smooth.
Serve:
Transfer to a bowl or small crock. Serve warm with pretzels, chips, or vegetables.

Notes

Use a sharp cheddar for maximum flavor.
• Adjust beer type to taste — lagers are milder, ales provide more depth.
• Keep warm in a slow cooker on low during parties.
• Leftovers can be reheated gently on the stove or in the microwave.
