Beer and cheese...the best of both worlds. This is a new recipe I made a couple nights ago. We served it with bbq grilled chicken and green beans. It was amazing! I hope you try it and enjoy!

Pour 5-6 cups of water in a large pot. Add 1 tsp olive oil and about 1.5 Tbsp Onion Salt. Heat to a rapid boil and pour in noodles. Cook until al-dente (almost done), about 8 minutes.
While noodles are boiling, heat medium sized saucepan on med-hi. Melt butter. Add garlic, remainder of salt, and pinch of pepper (optional). Stir. Whisk flour in for about 1 minute.
While whisking, slowly pour in 1 cup of milk. Heat to a low simmer, frequently whisking so bottom doesn’t burn. Add beer. Stir.
Add cheese. Whisk until sauce is smooth. Turn off heat. If sauce is too thick add more milk in 1 Tbsp increments.
Drain pasta in colander then put back in pot. Pour in cheese sauce and stir until combined. Pour noodles into baking dish. Top with remaining shredded cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
Remove foil and bake for another 5-7 minutes, until cheese on top is slightly browned. Serve immediately.
