Cheddar and Beer Fondue
Description: We took a classic Swiss fondue recipe and gave it an American twist.

Instructions:

Special equipment: fondue pot and fondue forks

Heat oven to 375º. Cut Bratwurst links diagonally into thick slices. Bake on foil-lined cookie sheet for about 15 minutes until cooked.

In medium bowl, toss cheese with flour and mustard. In two-quart saucepan set over medium heat, whisk ale with Worcestershire and Tabasco sauces. Add cheese, whisking constantly until cheese is melted and mixture is smooth. Bring to a simmer and continue to stir until fondue thickens. Pour immediately into heated fondue pot. Serve with prepared bread, potatoes and sausage.
