heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheddar

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Reduced-fat cheddar cuts calories without sacrificing flavor.

Melt butter in a pan over medium heat.

Add all-purpose flour to the melted butter and swirl it in to make a roux.

Cook the roux for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

When the roux starts to brown, add in some spicy chili flakes and a little salt for seasoning.

Pour in the beer while stirring the roux and seasonings together.

Stir until the mixture reaches a gravy-like consistency.

Add shredded Monterey Jack cheese gradually, stirring until melted and combined.

Adjust the consistency by adding more beer, milk, chicken stock, or water as needed.

Check the creaminess and thickness, adding more cheese if desired.
