Beer and Cheddar Fondue

Saw this on-line from Taste Of Home:

4 cups (16 oz) shredded sharp* cheddar
1 T. all-purpose flour
1 cup beer (or nonalcoholic)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1&1/2 t. ground mustard
1/4 t. freshly coarsely ground pepper
Pretzel sticks and sliced smoked sausage

In a large bowl, combine cheese and flour. In a small saucepan, heat the beer, garlic, mustard and pepper over medium heat until bubbles form around sides of pan. Reduce heat to med.-low, add a handful of cheese mixture. Stir constantly, using a figure-eight motion, until almost completely melted. Continue adding cheese, one handful at at time, allowing cheese to almost completely melt between additions. Keep Warm. Serve with pretzels, and sausage. You can also use Granny Smith* slices, rye bread cubes (YUMOLA), and chunks of carrots, mushrooms, celery, zucchini, squash and broccoli.

Get out there and enjoy the 70 degrees SUNSHINE today!! And remember, "Compassion is the essential link in the chain of humanity".

Love,
