How to Make Beer Cheese Fondue In Sourdough Round Rarebit In A Hole

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of beer, 1/2 cup butter, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. Cook over medium heat until butter is melted and mixture is slightly warmed.
Gradually whisk in 2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese and 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese until melted and smooth. Stir in 1/4 cup sour cream.
While the cheese sauce simmers, carefully hollow out a round sourdough loaf, leaving about 1/2 inch of bread on the sides and bottom. Cut the removed bread into 1-inch cubes.
Cut an additional sourdough loaf into 1-inch cubes or slices and place in a plastic bag for serving.
Fill the hollowed-out bread bowl with the cheese mixture.
Wrap the bread bowl tightly in aluminum foil.
Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the bread is golden brown.
Carefully remove the foil and let the bread bowl cool slightly before serving.
Optionally, stir in 2 tablespoons of cooked bacon bits and 2 tablespoons of finely chopped green onions into the cheese mixture before serving.
Serve the bread bowl with the extra bread cubes and/or slices for dipping.
