Equipment

  • Fondue Set, Optional

Ingredients

  • ½ cup milk beer, or chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoon corn starch
  • 1 cup salsa of choice*
  • 4-5 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese**

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, whisk together liquid of choice and corn starch, until mixture is smooth and there are NO lumps. Add in salsa, stir until well combined.
  • Heat over medium, just until it comes to a simmer.
  • Add a large handful of cheese, stir until melted. Continue adding rest of cheese – a handful at a time – stirring until it’s melted each time. Stop when dip reaches desired thickness.
  • Allow dip to heat for another minute or so, after the final batch of cheese. Serve warm.
