Potted Beer and Cheddar

Potted Beer and Cheddar

Adapted from a recipe card in ''Cooking With Beer''.
For Christmas 2019 my Mom gave me a cookbook, specifically 'Cooking With Beer' recipe card set and that is where this recipe comes from. This sounds very good, on my to make and taste list.

Ingredients
  

  • 250 grams cream cheese, softened, (8 oz)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened, (1/4 block / 1/2 stick)
  • 4 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded, (1 lb / 500 g)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
  • 1/2 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2-3 drops hot pepper sauce
  • 1/4-1/2 flat beer

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and butter, use an electric mixer and beat together until well blended.
  • Mix in the Cheddar.
  • Mix in all remaining ingredients, except for the beer.
  • Add just enough beer to make the cheese mixture spreadable to your desired consistency. Keep in mind the mixture will thicken more when chilled.
  • Pack the cheese mixture into a crock or ceramic dish, cover, and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to blend and to thicken.
  • Serve with assorted crackers, rye bread, or even apple slices. Enjoy.
