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

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.

CHEDDAR BEER FONDUE



CHEDDAR BEER FONDUE image

Categories     Sauce     Cheese     Appetizer

Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb. sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 tbsp. flour
1 1/2 tsp. dry mustard
Dash cayenne (or add a dash of hot sauce to the melted mixture)
3/4 c. beer
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • In bowl, combine cheese, flour, mustard and ground cayenne; mix to blend well. In fondue pot, combine beer and Worcestershire sauce. Set temperature at 375° and heat until bubbling. Gradually add cheese mixture and stir constantly until cheese melts and mixture is smooth, about 5 minutes. Reduce temperature to 200° and serve with crusty bread cubes or other dippers.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Cheese: Use a good-quality cheddar cheese that melts well, such as sharp cheddar or extra sharp cheddar. You can also use a combination of cheddar cheeses to create a more complex flavor.
  • Grate the Cheese Fresh: Freshly grated cheese melts more evenly and smoothly than pre-shredded cheese. Grate the cheese 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 Slowly: Cook the fondue over low heat, stirring constantly, until it is melted and smooth. Do not boil the fondue, as this will cause it to separate.
  • Add Beer Gradually: Add the beer to the fondue gradually, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent the fondue from curdling.
  • Season to Taste: Season the fondue with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Serve with Dippers: Serve the fondue with a variety of dippers, such as bread cubes, vegetables, or meat. You can also use fondue forks to dip the dippers into the fondue.

Conclusion:

Cheddar beer fondue is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. It is perfect for parties or gatherings, and it is sure to be a hit with your guests.
