    1. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in small skillet. Stir in 2 tablespoons chopped jalapenos. Cook over medium heat for 2 minutes or until softened, stirring frequently.

    2. For sauce, whisk together beer, cream, corn starch, salt, and black pepper in medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cook and whisk 1 minute. Remove from heat; whisk in pepper Jack cheese until melted. Set aside; keep warm.
