      Hyvee Culinary Expert Tip
      The trick to making perfectly cooked spaetzle in this recipe is under cooking the spaetzle in the boiling water because it will finish baking in the oven.

    2. Make Beer Cheese Sauce: In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Whisk in flour. Cook, whisking constantly, about 30 seconds or until flour smells nutty. Stir in garlic and onions. Whisk in beer and bring to a boil; add cream. Whisking constantly, bring back to boiling. Gradually add aged Gouda and Colby Jack cheeses, whisking constantly until cheese has melted. Season with salt and pepper; remove from heat.

    3. Mix prepared spaetzle into cheese mixture. Pour into a 2-quart baking dish and sprinkle with chives.

    4. Make Topping: Mix together panko bread crumbs, chives, Asiago cheese, and aged Gouda. Sprinkle topping over spaetzle. Bake until topping is lightly toasted and cheese is bubbling, about 30 minutes.
