It’s time to break out that fondue pot that has been sitting in your cupboard. You can try the CopyKat version of the Melting Pot’s Cheddar Cheese Fondue. The Melting Pot is one of my favorite to enjoy dinner, a dark room, a nice bottle of wine, and melted cheese, and hopefully you are with someone special. If you have never been to the Melting Pot, imagine a three course meal with fondue for each course!

What makes this fondue so memorable? Sometimes enjoying dinner is fun, and especially when you get to use your hands. Imagine cheese basking over your favorite breads, crisp green apples and more. This cheddar cheese fondue is made with medium-aged Cheddar, Emmenthaler Swiss cheese, lager beer, garlic, and more. While you don’t have to have a fondue pot to make this dish, but a fondue pot is a prominent center piece for your table.

Melting Pot Cheddar Cheese Fondue

Now you can serve this fondue with lots of bread, I recommend pumpernickel, wheat, sour dough; I also love this with green apples. You can be creative with this dish, so serve it with you enjoy. You must eat this dish in one setting, as this doesn’t reheat well, nor does it do well if you make it in advance to eat later. So this is the fun type of dish you want to make on the spot.

If you do not wish to make this with beer, I cannot give you a suggestion for the beer, other than a product like “O’Doul’s” or “Near Beer.” The beer flavor really adds a lot to this dish. Please do not serve this dish to people who do not drink alcohol. Alcohol really doesn’t fully cook out of the food alcohol burn off chart.

So enjoy one of my favorite romantic meals to share with someone.

While you don’t need this fondue pot to make fondue, making fondue with an electric fondue pot is a breeze.

You can make this famous Cheddar Cheese Fondue at home with this copycat recipe for the Melting Pot Cheddar Cheese Fondue.

Ingredients

• 6 ounces medium sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 ounces Emmenthaler Swiss Cheese
• 4 ounces of Coors light
• 2 teaspoons chopped garlic
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 2 teaspoons dry mustard powder

Instructions

If you are using a fondue pot, then turn it onto medium heat, otherwise, use a double boiler to heat up this mixture. Place beer, garlic, mustard powder, and Worcestershire sauce, and combine well.  Shred or cube all cheese, and toss with flour, coating cheese well.  The flour will help thicken the sauce.  When the beer mixture is warm, add one third of the cheese into the mixture, and whisk very well.  Once the cheese has been incorporated well, add second third of cheese, whisk in very well, and add in the remaining cheese and whisk until nice and smooth.
