Preparation
To make a spicy beer cheese fondue, start by cubing 7 ounces each of gouda and provolone cheese and lightly dusting them with corn starch and setting them aside. In a large saucepan, heat 1 cup of your favorite beer (a lager or pale ale works well) over medium heat until it’s warm but not boiling. Add 1 minced garlic clove and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Slowly stir in the cheese, a handful at a time, allowing it to melt smoothly. For a spicy kick, 1/3 cup of Miller’s Mild Banana Pepper Sauce and continue stirring until the sauce is creamy and smooth. Serve with an assorment of your favorite dippers. I chose grapes, apples strawberries, raw broccoli, smashed mini potatoes, sliced filet mignon and cocktail weiners. You can also add crackers and cubed bread.
