Big traditional holiday meals are awesome. Sometimes, however, it’s fun to do something a little more quirky.

Our very favorite is cheese fondue, and we have found this recipe to be the best.

Easy Beer Cheese Fondue

What you need:

• 2 bags of shredded cheese – I use 1 bag of sharp cheddar and 1 bag of italian blend
• 2 t flour
• salt, pepper, old bay to taste
• 1 bottle beer
• 1-3 cloves minced garlic (to taste)
• Dipping foods! Gherkins, bread, pretzel rods, green apple, and sausage are great choices!

How to make easy cheese fondue

Here’s the steps you need to follow to make this delicious cheese fondue and enjoy it with friends and family!

Step one: combine cheese ingredients

Combine the cheese, flour, and spices in a bowl. You’ll want to get these good and mixed up so that when you put them into the pot, they are spread evenly.

Step two: cook garlic and beer

Plug in your fondue pot (this is the one we use). Once it gets heated up a bit, add the garlic and saute for a minute to cook it.

Then, pour in a bottle of beer and get that heated up.

Any beer works, but we like to use something that has a decent amount of flavor to it, not a light beer. At a minimum, go with a Yeungling level beer.

Step three: add cheese mixture

We like to keep the pot on a fairly low temp – it it still very hot!

Once the beer is slightly boiling, add your cheese mixture. Add one handful at a time and stir til it is all melted. It doesn’t take very long!

Each handful will melt into the bigger pot of cheese as you go, but keep a pretty good constant stir on the mix until it’s all done.

Step four: Dip & enjoy!

Here are our favorite dippers:

• Pretzels
• Crusty bread
• Gerkin pickles
• Green apple
• Sausage slices
• Carrots
• Broccoli
• Tortilla chips

Fondue pots can be bought anywhere, but I would recommend getting an electric one.

I have much better luck maintaining a constant temperature with this type. Here’s the one we use!
