Easy Fondue Recipe For Super Bowl

Unexpected Game Day Dish: Cheddar and Stout Fondue

February 1, 2010

Do you have a lot of people plopping down on your couch to watch the game, and even more importantly, the commercials? If you want to try something a little less traditional in the game-day-food realm, cheddar cheese and stout fondue is for you. It's the perfect dish: easy to prepare in advance and bound to satisfy your guests. Who doesn't love dipping veggies, bread, and apples in a warm and creamy cheddar cheese dip?!

If you don't have a fondue pot, you can use a small sauce pan, but you'll have to periodically reheat the fondue. As it cools, the texture turns a little grainy. Feel free to substitute another melting cheese or beer that you have on hand. To have your guests dip into this super bowl of cheese, keep reading for the recipe.

:) so sweet - we have cheese fondue here ;) not with Cheddar - yet the "normal" is called: moitié-moitié (half-half) and is made with Gruyère and Vacherin (fribourgeois) - there are more different ones fm Switzerland - yet that is the most famous. The Fondue Fribourgeois :) sticky ;) and - in addition to that - we only do put bread in it or potatoes - i love your variety - :) what a great idea :)
