Foodbeast Makes Hot Dog Croquetas With Beerchamel
Foodbeast’s Chris Abouabdo made croquetas with finely chopped hot dogs and a beer-infused béchamel he calls beerchamel. The filling uses Montucky Cold Snacks, heavy cream, Manchego, onion, wieners, flour, and nutmeg, then gets chilled, breaded, and fried. The recipe instructs using one cup of beer in the mixture and saving the rest for drinking.
Chris Abouabdo’s beerchamel croqueta filling begins by softening diced onion in butter, adding chopped casingless wieners, then flour to create a roux. Montucky Cold Snacks is poured in gradually, followed by cream and Manchego; nutmeg, salt, and pepper season the mix. After chilling, the filling is shaped, frozen, coated in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs, then fried at 350°F until crisp.
The article places this recipe within a broader Wienermaxxing series. Other dishes include Patatas Bravas Con Weenies, which uses double-fried hot dog pieces, salsa brava, and an aioli made with wiener-frying oil, plus a Basque gilda variation threading anchovies, olives, and piparra peppers with thin strips of partly frozen wiener.
This recipe may appeal to home cooks, casual food fans, and beer or hot dog enthusiasts, encouraging playful fusion cooking and social sharing. It could influence how comfort foods are remixed, perhaps boosting interest in Spanish croquetas or Montucky Cold Snacks. Because it includes drinking instructions and frying, it may also prompt more attention to kitchen safety and responsible alcohol use. Its impact may remain niche within online food culture rather than broad dietary change.
