Cheddar Cheese Fondue

For all you long time readers of the blog, you know that I've posted a few fondue recipes in the past. I gave this one a try this weekend and it's a real winner too, so I thought I would share.

This is a traditional cheddar cheese fondue, so your kids will probably love it. (Mine sure did.)

Super easy to whip up!

Cheddar Fondue

1 cup white wine

1 teaspoon chopped garlic  

16 oz cheddar cheese, shredded 

2 Tbsp all purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon ground pepper 

1/2 teaspoon mustard powder 

Bread, pretzels, fruits, veggies for dipping - (apples, pineapple, carrots, broccoli)

1. Simmer wine and garlic in fondue pot over medium-high heat for one minute. 
2. Add cheese, flour, pepper, and mustard powder to a Ziploc bag and shake. Add mixture to fondue pot 1/4 pound at a time. 
3. Stir after each addition to incorporate until cheese is melted. 
4. Serve with cut-up bread, fruit, and veggies.

Notes: 

For those of you who don't want to use wine (or quite frankly don't happen to have a mere 1 cup of it laying around unused), you can substitute apple juice.

Don't forget our other tried and true fondue recipes. All of these make great recipes for snow days or for upcoming Super Bowl parties:
