Gary’s Famous Beer Cheese
My husband, Gary, is the chef in our family, but I generally take credit for all of his wonderful creations. You see, when he semi-retired a couple of years ago, I didn’t want him to get too comfortable. So, I sent him to cooking classes as a “gift.” Little did I know it would become a passion and we’d wind up spending a small fortune on cookware, cutlery, gourmet ingredients, etc. This recipe is one of the simplest and most requested of his creations.
