Ingredients
- 16 ounces Sharp cheddar cheese
- 8 ounces Gruyère cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 cup Guinness beer
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Grate the sharp cheddar cheese and Gruyère cheese, and toss with cornstarch in a large bowl. The cornstarch will help thicken the fondue and ensure a smooth texture.
Step 2
Set your crock pot to low heat and pour in the Guinness beer, minced garlic, and fresh lemon juice. Allow it to warm for about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Slowly add the cheese mixture to the crock pot in small handfuls, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon to ensure each addition melts completely before adding more.
Step 4
Once all the cheese is melted and smooth, sprinkle in the ground mustard and black pepper. Stir to incorporate and allow the mixture to cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
Taste the fondue and adjust flavors as desired. If it is too thick, you can thin it out with a small splash of Guinness or chicken broth.
Step 6
Turn the crock pot to warming mode for serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Step 7
Serve the fondue with an assortment of dippers such as crusty bread cubes, pretzels, apple slices, steamed broccoli, or baby carrots.
