How to Make Beer Cheese Fondue

  1. Grate the cheddar cheese and set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
  3. Whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
  4. Gradually whisk in the beer, ensuring no lumps form. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Reduce heat to low. Gradually add the grated cheddar cheese, a handful at a time, stirring continuously until melted and smooth.
  6. Stir in the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Keep warm over very low heat or transfer to a fondue pot and serve immediately with your favorite dippers (bread cubes, pretzels, vegetables).
