I have a electric fondue pot so I made a few changes.. I did 1 cup beef broth, and 8 oz sharp cheddar it was PERFECT!! I left out the mustard and added 1 clove of garlic that i chopped up with a knife.. I will be making this often.

My husband and I love the Melting Pot and this cheese fondue tasted exactly like theirs. It was fabulous! We used 8 oz of colby/monterrey jack cheese and it was perfect!

I made this today as a test run for the Fondue party I am hosting next weekend. I LOVE IT!! It is delicious! I used beef broth, and just kept adding shredded cheddar untill the consistency was what I wanted.

This cheese dip is great. I use 2 8 oz blocks of cheese and garlic from a jar. I also tear up pieces of rye bread to dip into the cheese along with apple pieces. It is a favorite in my family. Very simple and fast. It doesn't taste the same if you buy the cheese already shredded though.

While I have no doubt that the flavor of this cheese fondue would taste amazing, my finished result was terrible. I shredded 6 oz of a block of mild cheddar and followed the directions exactly. However, the cheese itself ended up as a big stringy blob floating in the middle of the liquid ingredients and no amount of stirring made a difference in terms of smoothing out the texture. More detailed instructions would be appreciated. I melted mine on low over the stovetop....perhaps that's what I did wrong?
