“Bring the Taste of Reba’s Place to Your Kitchen: Try this Delicious Beer Cheese Recipe”

Reba McEntire understands that not everyone can travel all the way to her restaurant in Atoka, Oklahoma, so she decided to share some of her famous dishes in her first cookbook, Not That Fancy. This Grammy award-winning singer has included at-home versions of menu items served at Reba’s Place, a popular 15,000-square-foot restaurant, bar, and live entertainment venue in her home state.

Reba’s Place is known for its “down-home atmosphere” and “Southwestern-style” food, thanks to the talented chef Kurtess Mortensen, formerly from the Pioneer Woman Mercantile. Situated in Atoka, a town located halfway between Tulsa and Dallas, Reba’s Place has been attracting locals and tourists since its opening in January.

One of the signature dishes at Reba’s Place is their mouthwatering beer cheese, and the best part is that it only takes 10 minutes to make at home. “Beer and cheese—what a combo!” says Reba. She thoughtfully included this recipe in her cookbook to give her fans a taste of her restaurant until they can visit in person.

Reba describes the beer cheese as “tasty but also very filling,” so she advises everyone to limit themselves. Whether you use it as a spread or a dip, or simply enjoy it straight out of the bowl, Reba assures there will be no judgment here.
