Valentine's Day Fondue




24 oz can Heineken beer
4 ½ cups cheese, shredded (I like a combo of cheddar and Monterey jack)
½ cup + 1 Tbsp butter
½ cup + 1 Tbsp flour
3 teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Melt butter in small saucepan on medium high heat. Add flour, salt, and garlic powder and stir with a whisk until it forms a thick paste. Add beer. Heat until just boiling. Turn down heat to low, and add cheese, a bit at a time, stirring constantly until melted and creamy. Turn off heat. Transfer to a fondue pot or crock pot.
