How to stream the World Series on FOX: 

Ingredients

For the Beer Cheese Sauce:
  • Two 12-ounce cans evaporated milk
  • ½ cup lager
  • 1½ tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons hot sauce
  • 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, freshly grated
  • 8 ounces pepper jack cheese, freshly grated
  • 4 ounces sliced American cheese, torn up
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
For the pretzel dogs:
  • 6 pretzel hot dog buns
  • 6 jumbo hot dogs, preferably made with natural casing
  • Beer Cheese Sauce, for topping
  • Pickled jalapeños slices, pickled cherry pepper slices or giardiniera, for topping
  • Store-bought french fried onions, for topping

Yield

Serves: 6

Preparation

For the Beer Cheese Sauce, in a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine evaporated milk and beer and cook until alcohol is cooked off, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in Dijon, Worcestershire and hot sauce until combined and smooth. Toss the cheeses and cornstarch in a bowl until evenly coated. Whisk the cheese mixture into the beer mixture and heat, whisking constantly, until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth, about 5 minutes.

For the pretzel dogs, place a steamer insert in a saucepan with about an inch of water and bring to a boil.  Add hot dog buns and steam, covered, for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, grill hot dogs until charred as desired; the char adds extra texture and flavor.

Add hot dogs to the steamed pretzel buns. Ladle beer cheese on top, then garnish with pickled jalapeños or cherry peppers or giardiniera. Top with a pile of french fried onions.
