Crock Pot Mondays - Cheese Savoury

Something a little different for today's Crock Pot Monday...I'm hleping with my son's International Festival this week and making lots of Irish and British foods that I've grown up with and/or have come to love.  This item will be brought in my crock pot and served over bits crusty bread for the tasting.  At home serve this over thick slices of toasted bread & butter.  Similar to a "Welsh Rarebit" and would be great as an easy dinner, served with soup or salad.  Ther recipe comes from an old Irish cookbook I have and can easily be dobled or tripled as I'll be doing for the event.  You'll need a small to medium sized crock for this one based on how much you'll be making and as always use a liner.

1/2 lb (2 cups) grated Cheddar cheese (do not buy pregrated - buy good Cheddar  - I like sharp Vermont white for this and grate yourself with box grater  - this is critical)
3 T. milk
1 T. beer
4 oz (1/2 c.) butter
1 tsp. prepared English Mustard (I like Coleman's)
Pepper to taste (I like using white ground pepper in this)
2 T. chopped mixed pickle or chutney - "chopped mixed pickle" is refering to something like Branston Pickle  - which you can find in the British foods section of your local grocery.  This is a mix of pickled veg and not pickles as American's think of them - you can leave out if you like but they are tasty.  I use the "small chunk" variety of Branston when I make this.

Add grated cheese, milk, butter and beer to crock and cook on high until melted, stirring occasionally.  Once melted and creamy, turn crock to low and add mustard, pepper to taste and pickle if desired.  Serve at once over toasted buttered bread.  Can be kept in crock on warm setting for a bit if needed which I'll do to serve for the festival.  Can also be used for a fondue type dish and can dip veg and bread into.  It's cheesy and yummy - nothing not to love.
