This thick fondue originated in my kitchen when I didn't have all of the ingredients I needed to make the recipe I initially planned to prepare. Served with bread cubes, it has since become a staple, particularly while we watch football games on television. -Chrystie Wear, Greensboro, North Carolina

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°. Place bread cubes in a single layer on an ungreased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake until lightly crisp, 5-7 minutes, stirring twice.
  2. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; add onion. Cook and stir until tender, 2-3 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in beer. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low. Toss cheese with flour; stir into saucepan until melted. Stir in 2 tablespoons cream.
  3. Transfer to a small fondue pot or 1-1/2-qt. slow cooker. Keep warm; add additional cream if fondue thickens. Serve with toasted bread cubes.
