Ingredients

• 2 (8-ounce) packages white Cheddar, shredded
• 2 (8-ounce) packages Monterey Jack, shredded
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 12 ounces light beer
• 2 cloves garlic, smashed
• 3 chipotle chiles, minced

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl toss together cheeses and flour.

To a 4-quart saucepan, add the beer, smashed garlic and chipotle chiles and bring to a simmer for 10 minutes.

Whisk in cheese by the handful, making sure each addition melts before you add the next. Keep at a bare simmer. Transfer to a fondue pot and set over a low flame.

*Cook's Note: If sauce is too thick, add more beer. If it's too thin, add more cheese

Serve with fondue accompaniments of fruits, vegetables and bread.
