This ooey, gooey Grilled Beer Cheese Fondue is a perfectly tasty way to start off your next cook-out or campfire dinner...
So it just occurred to me over the weekend that Father's Day is next Sunday. I swear, all of these holidays always seem to sneak up on me! Or maybe I am just trying to block out knowing that it is coming...
Have I ever mentioned that my dad happens to be the hardest person ever to shop for?? I am sure I am not the only daughter who has this same issue, but when my dad sees something that he wants he just buys it.
So every single year, Father's Day, Christmas, and his birthday are always a gift-giving struggle for me. I had been buying him gift cards to his favorite stores and online shops to solve this on-going dilemma, but my mother confessed to me recently that my dad often forgets that he has them and they are all stacked together in a far corner of a shelf.
So this coming Father's Day, I have a new plan- to make him a dinner fit for a dad! ;)
When I think of my dad and food, grilling automatically comes to mind. My dad rarely cooked when I was at home, but he always manned the grill.
When I started planning my Father's Day feast, I knew that the grill would definitely have to be involved. Yep, the grill and cheese. And meat and beer. All the makings of a perfect Father's Day cook-out.
And then I started reading about the 2015 Wisconsin Cheese Recipe Contest for the Food & Wine Conference this year, and a light bulb went off. I knew exactly what I wanted to make not only for my contest submission, but also to start off my dad's special dinner next weekend... A beer cheese fondue that is made on the grill!
For weeks now, I have been seeing all these ideas floating around on Pinterest on how to make campfire cheese fondue using a simple bread bowl. I decided to finally give it a go for myself, and the results were deliciously amazing!
A soft and crusty bread bowl is stuffed with a beer & garlic infused cheddar cheese fondue and then heated until melted and gooey over a grill or campfire in this Grilled Beer Cheese Fondue.
I can't imagine any dad being disappointed by being served this gooey and cheesy beer infused fondue! Especially when paired with some juicy & flavorful steak or chicken kabobs to dip in it. ;)
Is your dad hard to shop for too?
How have you solved your Father's Day gift-giving dilemma?
