- 4 potatoes, peeled and diced
- 6 cups water
- 2 (12 fluid ounce) bottles cream stout beer
- 2 pounds kielbasa sausage, sliced thin
- 4 green onions, diced
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried mustard powder
- 1 pound shredded Cheddar cheese
- 2 cups milk
- Bring potatoes, water, and beer to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 5 minutes. Stir in the sausage, green onions, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, mustard powder, and liquid smoke. Cover and simmer until the potatoes are completely tender, about 15 minutes.
- When the potatoes are tender, stir in the Cheddar cheese until completely melted, then add the milk. Heat through, stirring until cheese has melted but do not boil.
