★ appetizer
Worked in a winery near Virginia tech and I find that universities have an endless demand for group activities and beer! which brings us another dip thats always made during football season for those who like beer or those who love to watch their cheese stretch a mile away…

Open in Pepper →A pot of melted cheese turns a loaf of bread and whatever is in the crisper drawer into dinner, and nobody complains about it. It is one of the few things you can set on the table and walk away from.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection on game nights, on snowy Fridays when nobody wants a real meal, and when company shows up and the fridge is mostly cheese.
Every recipe here is built on shredded or grated cheese and something to loosen it: Beer Cheese Dip with cream cheese and cheddar, Classic Cheese Fondue with Gruyère and Emmentaler, a three-cheese Fondue Feast, and Skillet Queso Fundido with Green Chile.
Shred your own cheese
Bagged shreds are coated in starch that can turn grainy. Grate a block by hand for the smoothest melt, about 5 minutes of work.
Toss cheese with cornstarch
Coat the shredded cheese with 1 to 2 teaspoons of cornstarch before it goes in the pot to keep the sauce from separating.
Keep the heat low
Melt over low heat and stir in the cheese a handful at a time. Boiling makes the cheese seize and go stringy.
Rub the pot with garlic
Cut a clove in half and rub the inside of the pot before you start for a light garlic flavor throughout.
