Ingredients
- 4 to 5 bacon strips, diced
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 pound process Velveeta, cubed
- 2 cups sour cream
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped, optional
- 1 loaf (1 pound) French bread, cubed
- Optional: Soft pretzel bites and halved miniature sweet peppers
Directions
- In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels. In the drippings, saute onion until tender. Stir in flour until blended; cook and stir until thickened.
- Reduce heat to low. Add cheese cubes; cook and stir until melted. Stir in sour cream, jalapeno if desired, and bacon; cook and stir just until heated through. Transfer to a fondue pot and keep warm. Serve with bread cubes, and, if desired, pretzel bites and peppers.
