Beer and Cheddar Fondue


Ingredients

4 cups (16 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup beer or nonalcoholic beer
3 garlic cloves, minced
1-1/2 teaspoons ground mustard
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
Pretzel dipping sticks and sliced smoked sausage, veggies, etc

Directions

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 medium-low; add a handful of cheese mixture. Stir constantly, using a figure-eight motion, until almost completely melted. Continue adding cheese, one handful at a time, allowing cheese to almost completely melt between additions. Keep warm. Serve with pretzels and sausage. Yield: 2 cups.

Bisquick Cheese Bread


This is great as a loaf because you can slice and butter more easily.  If you mix in some of your favorite herbs you will have something similar to the wonderful biscuits that the Schwan’s man brings…. :)  I’ll add a photo for you later!  Promise.

 

Ingredients:
1 egg
1 1/2 cup milk
3 3/4 cups Bisquick baking mix
1 cup Cheddar cheese – shredded

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Beat egg on low speed. Add remaining ingredients and beat 1/2 minute medium speed until blended. Pour batter into a greased 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Bake 1 hour or until golden brown.

 

Cheddar Cheese Puffs ….. with a surprise!


Makes 48 puffs

2 cups grated sharp cheddar
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter, at room temperature
1 cup sifted flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
48 small green stuffed olives, well drained

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
1. Blend the grated cheese and butter. Stir in the flour, salt and paprika. (This can all be done in a food processor equipped with the metal blade.)
2. Mold 1 teaspoon of the mixture around each olive. Chill the puffs until firm, about 30 minutes. Arrange the puffs on ungreased baking sheets.
3. Bake for 15 minutes or until browned. (You can also freeze the puffs, well wrapped, for about 10 days. Bake them, still frozen, until browned.)
