I’ve mentioned my love of nachos many times before.  In my mind, they’re like the world’s most perfect food.  So why it’s taken me so long to put a Mexican spin on my infamous Beer Cheese Fondue, I have no idea.  I mean, this makes regular ol’ queso or nacho cheese sauce look absolutely boring.  I know the next time I need a nacho fix, I’ll be turning first to this Mexican Beer Cheese Fondue recipe.

Easy Mexican Cheese Fondue Recipe

This Mexican Beer Cheese Fondue definitely has upped the spice quotient.  If jalapeños make a cheese sauce delicious, I abide by the theory that a big handful of jalapeños would make it outstanding.  And I’m not talking about the pickled variety.  I’m talking fresh from the garden or produce aisle.  While I love the spice, if you’re looking for a more mild fondue, you’ll simply want to remove the seeds and membranes from the peppers first as that’s where all of the heat is found.

What to Dip in Beer Cheese Fondue

This seven ingredient dipping sauce comes together in less than 20 minutes and is perfect to enjoy not only with your favorite dippers, but it would also be the ultimate topping to my Dodger Stadium Doyer Dogs.  I also can’t wait to top my Huevos Rancheros Sheet Pan Nachos with it, too!  Mexican beer, jalapeños, garlic and cheddar cheese are stirred together to create this melty, luscious Mexican Beer Cheese Fondue that’s just begging to be served at your next game day get together.

Beer Cheese Fondue for Pretzels

And let’s talk about dipping agents for a moment, shall we?  Sure you could go the healthier route and serve this cheesy dip with fresh vegetables like cauliflower, broccoli and carrots.  Or, you could go with something that’s more my speed like these soft pretzels, cubes of toasted French bread  or even tortilla chips.  Your creativity is the only limit to how you choose to deliver this delicious sauce to your mouth.

    This looks so good! I love the idea of having a platter with veggies to dip too! I definitely think it would encourage my kids to eat them.
