Provided by TMaloy

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 thick bacon slices
3 T. butter
1 large sweet onion, diced
1 (12 oz.) bottle ale beer
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup bourbon
1 t. dried crushed red pepper
6 lbs. fresh collard greens, trimmed and chopped
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 t. salt
1/2 t. pepper

Steps:

  • Cut bacon crosswise into 1/4 inch strips. Melt butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat; add bacon, and cook, stirring often, 8 minutes or until crisp. Drain bacon on paper towels, reserving drippings in skillet. Saute onion in hot drippings until tender. Stir in bacon, ale, and next 3 ingredients; cook 3 minutes or until mixture is reduced by 1/4th. Add collards in batches, and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until wilted. Reduce heat to medium low; cover and cook 1 hour or until desired doneness. Stir in salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose a good quality cheddar cheese. The better the cheese, the better the fondue will be. Look for a cheddar that is sharp and flavorful.
  • Grate the cheese yourself. This will ensure that the cheese melts evenly and smoothly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the fondue from burning.
  • Cook the fondue over low heat. This will help to prevent the cheese from curdling.
  • Stir the fondue constantly. This will help to prevent the cheese from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
  • Add the bourbon and bacon last. This will help to preserve their flavor.
  • Serve the fondue with a variety of dipping options. This could include bread, vegetables, or fruit.

Conclusion:

Bourbon Bacon Cheddar Fondue is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion.
