Beer Cheese Fondue and Mac and Cheese

Are you looking for a fabulous cheese dip for your next party? Or maybe the perfect fondue for a fun dinner night. Or, maybe you want to spice up your macaroni and cheese? This is the Beer Cheese Fondue recipe for you!

I originally made this Beer Cheese Fondue as an appetizer for my family while watching a movie on TV. They loved dipping cheese bread and pita chips into it. (Don’t worry, the alcohol cooks out, so it’s non-alcoholic, only slight flavor from the beer is left.) My kids enjoyed having fondue; something I don’t fix very often. I really should make it more, after all, fondue is super fun!

We only ate a small amount of the Beer Cheese Fondue. So the next day, I cooked a package of spiral pasta, and used the remaining Beer Cheese Fondue as a sauce. It was absolutely delicious; Beer Macaroni and Cheese!

Here is the recipe:

  • 1 cup of an amber ale.
  • 1 teaspoon of Tabasco Sauce
  • 2 pounds of Velveeta. (Velveeta comes in a meltable, 2 pound cheese block. Super easy!)

Cut the cheese block to fit inside your fondue pot. Put the tabasco and beer inside the pot too. You don’t have to mix it right away. Cook on simmer until the cheese starts to melt, then using a wooden spoon, mix everything together. Let the mixture simmer on high, stirring occasional, for forty-five minutes.

If serving as a dip or fondue, keep warm in a fondue pot and stir occasionally as a film will form over the top if it sits a few minutes without being dipped into. If using as the cheese mix in macaroni and cheese, pour over 1 pound of your favorite cooked pasta, mix together, and enjoy!

My kids absolutely love this dip/fondue as Beer macaroni and cheese. The alcohol cooks out, so don’t worry about getting your kiddos drunk, or anyone on the wagon getting tipsy. This is a non-alcoholic food. Love that!

Things you may need in your kitchen to make this recipe:

I hope you enjoy this simple cheese fondue recipe. I would love to know if you serve it as fondue, or macaroni and cheese!

Chanel nail polish holidays 2020: Chanel Chaine D’Or nail polish /

All that glitters is really gold! Chanel streamlined their holiday nail polish collection for 2020, and they hit a home run! It’s always a little tricky to only release one color for a major season, but leave it to Chanel to choose the most beautiful hue for the holiday season. Chanel Chaine D’Or nail polish is the color of our dreams for the holidays. Love!

For the 2020 holidays, Chanel nail polish is a sparkling and festive gold hue. This color is perfect to take us from the beginning of the holiday season, all the way through to the new year. Now, raise your hand if you are REALLY looking forward to the new year?! I mean, was that even a question? Of course we all are!

Gold is a beautiful hue. It is a color which evokes success, prestige, luxury, prosperity, and an uplifted mood. Gold is the color we need this holiday season to make us feel special, as well as happier. After all, when we start to get vaccinated and back to our normal lives next year, we will want to feel prosperous, successful, and downright happy! Why not have our nails ahead of the curve, and ready for the sparkling new year? Love that!

I’m absolutely in love with Chanel Chaine D’Or nail polish for the holiday 2020 season. It is a beautiful, sparkling gold hue which is idea for the holiday season, as well as into the new year. I cannot wait to wear it all season long and celebrate getting out of this year, and into the new one!

If you aren’t a metallic nail polish person, I highly recommend continuing to wear Chanel Interdit from the fall 2020 season. It is a beautiful, deep red which moves easily from the fall season, into the holidays. Chanel Interdit is also a classic dark red, so it’s a great color to always have in your nail polish wardrobe.
