By JanetLynn198

Total time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• 1 clove garlic, halved
• 1 cup light beer
• 1/2 tsp instant chicken bouillon granules
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 2 tbsp cold water
• 1 cup shredded American cheese (4oz)
• 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese (8oz)
• Assorted items for dipping; French or Italian bread, breadsticks, broccoli florets, etc.

Preparation

Step 1

1. Rub the bottom and sides of a heavy metal fondue pot with the garlic halves; discard the garlic. In the 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.

Note: WAAAYY too thick. Maybe more beer or cut out so much cornstarch?
