CHEESE FONDUE MELTING POT CHEDDAR WITH BEER RECIPE - (3.9/5)

Cheese Fondue Melting Pot Cheddar with Beer Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by btaylor

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1/2 cup Coors Light beer
2 teaspoons garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons dry mustard powder
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
6 ounces medium-sharp cheddar cheese
2 ounces Emmentaler Swiss cheese
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
I used half the beer and substituted milk for rest and used all cheddar, no Swiss. Ended up adding lots more milk to thin it so it was not sticky and stringy.

Steps:

If you are using an electric fondue pot, turn it onto medium; otherwise use a double boiler to heat up this mixture. Place beer, garlic, dry mustard, and Worcestershire sauce in the pot and combine well. Shred or cube the cheeses and toss with flour, coating the cheese well. (The flour will help thicken the sauce.) When the beer mixture is warm, add one-third of the cheese and whisk very well. Once the cheese has been incorporated well, add half of the remaining cheese and whisk in very well. Add the remaining cheese and whisk until nice and smooth. Cooks notes: If you do not wish to make this with beer, I cannot give you a suggestion for the beer other than a product like O'Doul's or a near-beer with less than 3.2 percent alcohol. The beer flavor really adds a lot to this dish. Please do not serve this dish to people who do not drink alcohol. Alcohol really doesn't fully cook out of the food. The Melting Pot uses vegetable broth in place of beer for those that do not want alcohol. It is just as good as with the beer.

Tips:

Use high-quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly impact the flavor of your fondue. Choose a cheese that is flavorful and melts well, such as Gruyère, Emmental, or Cheddar.
Grate the cheese yourself: Pre-shredded cheese contains additives that can prevent it from melting smoothly. For the best results, grate the cheese yourself just before using it.
Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the fondue from burning.
Cook the fondue over low heat: Fondue should be cooked over low heat so that it has time to thicken and become smooth. Do not boil the fondue, as this will cause it to separate.
Stir the fondue constantly: Stirring the fondue constantly will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and will also help to incorporate the ingredients evenly.
Serve the fondue with a variety of dipping options: Fondue is a great way to enjoy a variety of foods, such as bread, vegetables, and meats. Experiment with different dipping options to find your favorites.

Conclusion:

Cheddar cheese fondue is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are hosting a party or just looking for a cozy meal at home, cheddar cheese fondue is sure to please. So gather your friends and family, and indulge in this classic dish.
