Kentucky Beer Cheese


  • 5 lbs Sharp Cheddar Cheese Spread
  • 4-5 oz hot sauce
  • 1 Tb garlic salt
  • 1 1/2-2 Tb crushed red pepper
  • 1 1/2 tsp liquid garlic (found in spice aisle)
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 stale beer (I like an Ale-style beer)

Open beer and let sit out all night to become stale. Let cheese sit out for 4-5 hours till room temp.

Scoop cheese into a VERY LARGE mixing bowl. Pour beer in a little at a time and mix in with hand mixer. Mix in rest of ingredients and spice-up to your liking...it does get a little hotter as it sits overnight so be careful.

I used a large ice cream scoop to portion into deli containers. 15 containers full!

Slow Cooker Choucroute

Choucroute - French for dressed sauerkraut, any preparation of hot sauerkraut with meat and potatoes. I can not give this recipe enough of a recommendation - it is THAT good. It is without question the best slow cooker recipe I have ever had! It was also the "prettiest" slow cooker meal I've ever prepared. It totally put me in the autumn mood gathering and prepping the ingredients. The flavors were amazing and infused through out each bite. The recipe calls for the onions to be studded with whole cloves and the dish includes apples, sauerkraut, kielbasa, pork chops, and is served with spicy mustard and pumpernickel bread! Of course I had to have this with a Bell's Octoberfest Beer and a slice of my pumpernickel bread. 1 large onion, peeled, root end left intact, and quartered 4 whole cloves 8 ounces thick-sliced apple bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces 2 pounds sauerkraut, rinsed and drained 4 whole garlic cloves 4 sprigs fresh thyme 4 sprigs fresh parsley 2 bay leaves 2 ...
