Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Yield: 12-14 Servings

15 15 30

Ingredients

4 to 5 bacon strips, diced
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 pound process cheese (Velveeta), cubed
2 cups (16 ounces) sour cream
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped, optional
1 loaf (1 pound) French bread, cubed

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. Yield: 3-3/4 cups.

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
