Daddy's Welsh Rabbit (Rarebit) image

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 Tbsp butter
1 1/2 Tbsp all purpose flour
1 can(s) (5 ounces) evaporated milk (or 2/3 cup beer or ale)
1 c grated extra sharp cheddar cheese (or more if desired)
1/2 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp hot sauce (tabasco)
4 slice bread, toasted

Steps:

  • 1. Melt butter in medium skillet over medium-low heat. When melted, stir in flour and continue to stir until well mixed and foamy. Cook, stirring, about 1 minute.
  • 2. SLOWLY stir in milk (or beer) until a smooth sauce forms. Stir constantly so lumps break up and sauce smooths out.
  • 3. Stir in grated cheese, and continue to stir until cheese melts completely and is well-blended. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce.
  • 4. Reduce heat to warm; keep warm and stir cheese sauce occasionally while preparing toast.
  • 5. Thick sliced homemade bread works best, or use Texas Toast. Cut toasted bread into triangles. Arrange triangles on plate and top with about 1/2 cup or more cheese sauce.
