Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup beer (light beer works great)
- 8 to 11 ounces freshly shredded cheddar cheese (we love smoked cheddar!)
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons ground mustard
Instructions
- Pre-heat your fondue pot.
- Prepare your cheddar cheese by freshly grating it and tossing it with flour.
- In your fondue pot, bring the beer to a boil.
- Once the beer reaches a boil, add half of your shredded cheddar cheese and whisk.
- Add the remaining cheese and whisk until it is smooth and creamy.
- Add the Worcestershire and ground mustard.
- Keep on warm and serve with dippers.
Notes
- When we first made this recipe, we were worried about it containing alcohol – but it burns off. We’ve found alcohol bases are best to make the cheese creamy and smooth.
- Don’t skip the flour – you need a thickener.
- Freshly grated cheese is a must. Store-bought will have anti-clumping additives.Â
- It is best to prepare the cheese fondue right before you serve it.
- A double broiler is recommended to prevent burning.
- See the entire recipe post for the best dipper ideas for cheese fondue.
