ingredients

  • 3 oz sharp aged cheddar cheese shredded medium-fine
  • 2 oz Swiss cheese shredded medium-fine
  • 4 oz pilsener beer I used New Belgium Pilsener
  • 1/2 tsp chopped garlic
  • 1/2 tsp Head Country High Plains Heat Original Seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ounces Head Country Chipotle BBQ Sauce
  • 2 oz homemade shredded cooked short ribs chopped well
  • 1/2 tsp chopped scallions for garnish
  • Artisan breads seasonal vegetables, apple slices, etc for dipping

instructions

  • Add cheddar and Swiss cheeses to a small bowl, stirring to combine. Set aside.
  • Fill a small saucepan with about 2 inches of water. Place a metal bowl on top - make sure it is one that fits inside but doesn't touch the water. Essentially you are making a double boiler! You can use a double boiler if you have one as well. 
  • Bring water to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and add beer to the metal bowl. 
  • Add chopped garlic, Head Country High Plains Heat Original Seasoning, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Stir to combine.
  • Add 1/3 of the cheese mixture and stir in with a fork until the cheese is melted. Add another 1/3 of the cheese, mixing thoroughly with a fork. 
  • Add the final 1/3 of the cheese and mix thoroughly until combined. Continue to stir until melted and combined well. 
  • Stir in Head Country Chipotle BBQ Sauce and brisket until combined. 
  • Pour into a warm serving bowl, and garnish with chopped scallions. I like to warm my oven safe serving bowl in a 350˚F oven for about 15 minutes or so before adding the fondue. This will keep it warm and to temperature!
  • Serve immediately with breads, vegetables, apples, and more.
