• Beef and chicken fondue is a quick and delicious dinner that’s an update on classic cheese fondue for the carnivores. The variety of sauces, from tangy to sharp to slightly sweet, are perfect dips for a wide-ranging palate.

    The meat can be thinly sliced or diced for this fondue, and assorted breads, cubed, can also be included. Be sure not to overcrowd the fondue as this will result in the food cooking too slowly.
