Beer and Cheddar Fondue
Ingredients
  • 1 clove garlic, halved
  • 1 cup  light beer
  • 1/2 teaspoon  instant chicken bouillon granules
  • 2 tablespoons  cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons  cold water
  • 1 cup  shredded American cheese (4 ounces)
  • 2 cups  shredded sharp cheddar cheese (8 ounces)
  • Assorted items for dipping (French or Italian bread cubes, breadsticks, broccoli florets, red sweet pepper pieces, soft pretzels, and/or precooked baby sunburst squash)
Directions

1. Rub the bottom and sides of a heavy metal fondue pot* with the garlic halves; discard garlic. In fondue pot, combine the beer and bouillon. Bring to boiling over medium-high heat.

2. In a small bowl, stir together cornstarch and the water. Add cornstarch mixture in a steady stream to beer mixture while stirring with a heat-resistant rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat to medium-low. Gradually stir in shredded cheeses, stirring after each addition until cheese melts.

3. Place fondue pot over fondue burner. Serve immediately with desired items for dipping. Spear item with a fondue fork or wooden skewer; dip into cheese mixture, swirling to coat. (Fondue will thicken as it holds over the burner.) Makes 6 to 8 servings.

From the Test Kitchen
