Looking for the perfect meal or snack for your camping trip? This Beer & Cheddar Fondue is easy to make and gets everyone gathered around the campfire or grill. Pack up your favorite dippers, light the fire or grill and get melting.
A small cast iron Dutch oven works well for this quick and easy fondue, but any heavy saucepan will work. The dippers are a big part of this fun recipe. Mix up the flavors and textures: sweet fruit, savory crackers or bread, tart pickles, crunchy veggies - or whatever are your favorites.

2 cups of Cabot Alpine Cheddar, shredded
