Directions for Cheddar Beer Fondue:
- Prepare the Cheese Mixture
- In a medium sized bowl, toss the shredded Cheddar cheese with the all-purpose flour, until the cheese is evenly coated. This is ensure the fondue is nice and think, and prevent it from clumping in the bowl.

- Be careful not to let it boil.
- Add the Garlic:
- Stir in the minced garlic and let it cook for about 1 minute, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Melt the Cheese:
- Gradually add the cheese and flour mixture to the simmering beer, stirring constantly.
- Continue to stir until the cheese is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Thicken the Fondue:
- Continue stirring and cooking the mixture for about 5-8 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture has thickened to a smooth consistency.
- Season the Fondue::
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and mustard powder.
- Mix well to combine all the flavors.
- Transfer and Serve:
- If you prepared the fondue in a separate pot, transfer the cheese mixture to the fondue pot set over a lit fondue burner.
- Serve with your favourite accompaniments, such as sliced apples, pretzel bites or sliced veggies.
Note: Keep the pot over a low flame to maintain the consistency of the cheese fondue while enjoying it.
