Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Sharp cheddar cheese
- 8 ounces Gruyère cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 cup Guinness beer
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Grate the sharp cheddar cheese and Gruyère cheese, and toss with cornstarch in a large bowl. The cornstarch will help thicken the fondue and ensure a smooth texture.
Set your crock pot to low heat and pour in the Guinness beer, minced garlic, and fresh lemon juice. Allow it to warm for about 5 minutes.
Slowly add the cheese mixture to the crock pot in small handfuls, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon to ensure each addition melts completely before adding more.
Once all the cheese is melted and smooth, sprinkle in the ground mustard and black pepper. Stir to incorporate and allow the mixture to cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste the fondue and adjust flavors as desired. If it is too thick, you can thin it out with a small splash of Guinness or chicken broth.
Turn the crock pot to warming mode for serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve the fondue with an assortment of dippers such as crusty bread cubes, pretzels, apple slices, steamed broccoli, or baby carrots.
