Beer Cheese (it is a fon-do!)

OMG this is so addicting, I did not even know how good it was going to be. People were literally cleaning the crockpot with their fingers! I made this for my housewarming party, and had breadcubes for dipping, but you could use tortilla chips and veggies, pretzels, whatever tastes good with cheese! I made this on the stovetop and then kept it warm in the crockpot on the keep warm setting. This dip is even great once cooled and you spread it on crackers and bread. ***Photo is not mine, I found it on google from http://www.foodtv.ca/

Beer Cheese Fon-Do!

1 loaf crusty white bread (like sourdough), cubed

1 Tbsp butter

1 garlic cloves, minced

8 oz Velveeta, cut into cubes

8 oz low fat cream cheese cut up

1 C Colby cheese, shredded

1 C pepper jack cheese, shredded

melt butter over med heat and saute garlic 1 minute. add velveeta, cream cheese, and mustard, and stir constantly til melted. Add shredded cheeses and keep stirring. Add beer a little at a time, stirring each time until combined. I used almost the entire bottle (except for about a swig), keep adding until it is the consistency you want. add hot sauce and salt and pepper. Pour into crock pot and put on low for about 20 minutes, then switch to keep warm. Serve with dippers.
