Nachos and cheese dip are pretty standard Super Bowl fare. In one way or another, some sort of cheese (or cheese-like product) gets melted down, maybe mixed with some chilies or sausages, and served with chips.

While there is certainly nothing wrong with your basic nacho arrangement, it barely scratches the surface of what is possible when cheese meets meat and heat.




MOVE OVER CHIPS AND DIP

If there is anything that the Super Bowl celebrates, it's excellence-in football, in commercials, and in game day snackage. That's why you should seriously consider serving Super Bowl fondue instead of everyday nachos at your Super Bowl party. If you do it right, your game day eats might be so good everyone will almost forget there's a game on...almost.

SUPER BOWL FONDUE

Really any cheese will work in a fondue as long as it melts reasonably well. Gruyère, emmenthaler, fontina, and butterkase are traditional, but there's no reason to stick with them. Instead, we can use something a little more Super Bowl-ish.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cans wheat beer

  • 1 onion, diced

  • 1 can diced chilies

  • Splash hot sauce

  • 1 tablespoon flour

  • 2 cups cheddar cheese


Directions:

  1. Bring the beer, onion, chilies, and hot sauce to a boil in a soup pot or a fondue pot.

  2. Mix the flour and cheese together and toss it into the pot; stir to melt.

  3. If you have a fondue pot, leave the cheese in it, if not, either leave the fondue on the stove over medium-low or low heat, or put it into a crock pot over low heat.
