Allow this cheddar cheese and beer spread, seasoned with Worcestershire, dry mustard, seasoned salt and hot pepper sauce, to sit for several hours or overnight to give the flavors time to blend.

Beer Cheese Spread

4 cups (16-ounces) shredded mild cheddar cheese
4 cups (16-ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1 (12-ounce) can beer, at room temperature

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cheeses with garlic; set aside to soften to room temperature.
2. Add the Worcestershire sauce, seasoned salt, mustard, hot pepper sauce, and enough beer to make a spreadable mixture.
3. Place in a crock or serving dish; cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight before serving. Serve with an assortment of crackers, chips or crudités.

Makes about 8 cups.

Note: You'll get the best results if you refrigerate the finished spread for several days to give the flavors more time to blend.
