This is an heirloom recipe from a restaurant on the Kentucky River near Lexington (out of business since the late 1990s). It's a quick fix for a party, one batch goes a long way, and it packs a great flavor punch for how easy it is! Serve this appetizer with chips, crackers, chopped vegetables, soft or crispy pretzels, warm bread...

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) package sharp Cheddar cheese, cut into chunks
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon hot sauce
¼ cup warm beer

Directions

Process Cheddar cheese chunks in the bowl of a food processor until crumbly. Add garlic powder, cayenne, and hot sauce. Begin pouring in the beer a little at a time, mixing until desired consistency has been reached.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Cook's Notes:

For a creamier cheese, use more beer.

The higher-quality beer and cheese you use, the more flavorful it will taste and the better (less greasy) the consistency will be.
