BEER-CHEESE BURGERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and mustard powder and cook, stirring, 3 minutes. Whisk in the beer and bring to a simmer; whisk in the half-and-half until smooth. Return the sauce to a simmer and cook, whisking occasionally, until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the cheese and horseradish until smooth; keep warm.
• Form the beef into four 6-ounce patties, about 3/4 inch thick; press the center of each patty with your thumb to make a 1/2-inch-deep indentation. Season the patties on both sides with salt and pepper. Lightly brush the grill grates with vegetable oil, then grill the patties, indentation-side up, until marked on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until marked and slightly firm, about 3 more minutes for medium doneness. Remove the patties to a plate and let rest 5 minutes. Grill the rolls, cut-side down, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute.
• Top the bun bottoms with the burger patties, cheese sauce, tomato and chives. Cover with the bun tops.

BEST BEER CHEESE SLIDERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°. Line a large baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
• In large bowl, mix together beef, panko breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, Worcestershire sauce and yellow mustard. Season with salt and pepper. Shape mixture into 12 balls and flatten slightly to create patties. Bake uncovered until cooked through, 15-20 minutes. Set aside.
• In a medium pot, cook the garlic in olive oil on low heat, then add the milk and beer. Bring liquids to a simmer. Add the cream cheese to the pot and soften over low heat-when the cream cheese begins to melt, add in cheddar, mozzarella, Dubliner, Dijon mustard, and cayenne, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Salt to taste.
• Cook until the sauce is thickened.
• TIP: If the Cheddar Beer Cheese is too thin, you can thicken the Beer Cheese with an extra tablespoon of flour or cornstarch. Mix the flour or cornstarch in a separate bowl with 1/4 cup of the thin Beer Cheese Sauce. Slowly add the new thick sauce back into the Beer Cheese recipe.
• Spoon Beer Cheese over patties, and serve with pretzel bun or dinner rolls for sliders.

GRILLED MAC N' BEER CHEESE SLIDERS WITH BACON, BEER &

Steps:

• Make the Jam.
• In a large pan with high walls, cook the bacon, working in batches to avoid overlap. Once all of the bacon has been cooked, allow it to cool and then roughly chop.
• Pour out all but about 1 tablespoon's worth of drippings from the pan. Heat the pan again and add in the onions. Cook the onions until they have become translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then, add the garlic and cook for a minute.
• Pour in the beer and apple cider vinegar and deglaze your pan using a wooden spoon.
• Add the brown sugar, chopped bacon, crushed tomatoes, salt and pepper and stir well.
• Place the lid over the pan, cracked so that the steam can vent slightly, and allow the mixture to boil for a minute. Then, reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Cook until much of the liquid has evaporated and you are left with a thick, chunky jam, about 1 hour.
• Make the Mac n' Beer Cheese.
• Cook the macaroni according to the directions on the box.
• Heat a pot over medium-high and add the butter.
• When the butter melts entirely, whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook until it begins to bubble and turns a gold-ish color.
• Slowly add the milk and beer while whisking the mixture. Then, add the cheeses a little bit at a time, and stir constantly until the mixture is smooth.
• Turn the heat down to medium and keep stirring for another 5 minutes or so as the mixture thickens up.
• Add the salt and pepper. You may also choose to add a bit of chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika and/or nutmeg, depending on how you like your macaroni and cheese. I add a pinch of each.
• Mix in the cooked macaroni.
• Assemble the Sliders.
• Slice your baguette to your desired thickness. Butter one side of each slice.
• Heat a large pan over medium heat.
• Place a piece of cheese on the unbuttered side of one slice of bread, and scoop a generous amount of Mac n' Beer Cheese on top of the cheese. Place, buttered-side down, into the hot pan. Do this with 3-4 pieces at a time. Place another piece of cheese on top of the Mac n' Beer Cheese.
• Top each with another slice of bread that has been spread on the unbuttered side with Bacon, Beer and Tomato Jam.
• Fry until slightly browned and the cheese binding the sandwich has begun to melt. Then carefully flip each slider over to fry the other side. Serve warm.
