Servings: 4

Ingredients

Hot dogs (4)
Hot dog buns (4)
Unsalted butter (2 tablespoons)
All-purpose flour (2 tablespoons)
Beer (1 cup (your favorite brew))
Sharp cheddar cheese (1 cup, shredded)
Dijon mustard (1 tablespoon)
Salt (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)
Chopped green onions (optional) (for garnish)
Crispy bacon bits (optional) (for garnish)

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Once melted, add the all-purpose flour to create a roux. Stir continuously for about 2 minutes until it turns golden in color.
Gradually whisk in the beer, ensuring there are no lumps, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and Dijon mustard. Stir continuously until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Keep warm on low heat.
Cook the hot dogs according to the package instructions, either by grilling, boiling, or pan-frying until heated through.
Place each hot dog in a bun and generously drizzle the warm beer cheese sauce over the top.
For an extra touch of flavor and texture, sprinkle with chopped green onions or crispy bacon bits if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors!
