Ingredients

Cheese

Look for the Proudly Wisconsin Badge when shopping for cheese. Any brand of Wisconsin Aged Cheddar or Colby can be used in this recipe.

Instructions

  1. Fry bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon to paper towels to drain. When cool enough to handle, crumble bacon. Set aside.
  2. Combine flour and cold water in a bowl until smooth. Whisk the milk, beer, cheddar, colby, garlic, Worcestershire sauce and hot pepper sauce in a large saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly until cheeses are melted. Slowly whisk in the flour mixture. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, for 8-10 minutes longer or until soup is thickened.
  3. Hollow out pretzel rolls, if desired, with a sharp knife for bowls. Spoon soup into rolls or serving bowls. Garnish with chives and reserved bacon.
