🔥Step-by-Step Instructions

Pigs in a Blanket

  4. Place them on a lined baking sheet, seam side down.
  5. Bake for 13-14 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.

Beer Cheese

  1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Whisk in the flour to form a roux; cook 2 minutes until slightly golden.
  3. Slowly pour in the beer while whisking until smooth.
  4. Add evaporated milk, Dijon mustard, Fireshire, and Blazing Star All In One Seasoning.
  5. Stir well, then gradually add shredded cheddar until the sauce is smooth, creamy, and fully melted.

Serve

  1. Dip those hot, buttery pigs in a blanket right into the warm beer cheese and enjoy!

💡Pro Tips

  • Freshly shredded cheese melts better - avoids that grainy texture bagged cheese can cause.
  • For extra crispiness, bake on a wire rack over the baking sheet.
  • Add a splash of hot sauce to the beer cheese for more heat.
  • Swap beer for milk for a kid-friendly version.
