First and Goal Cheddar and Tomato Ranch Fondue Recipe

  • 2 cups medium Cheddar cheese, grated
  • 2 cups pepper Jack cheese, grated
  • 1 (1 ounce) packet Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons store-bought minced roasted garlic
  • 2 tomatoes, peeled, cored, seeded, and cut into 1/4-inch dice
  • 2/3 cup heavy (whipping) cream
  • Foods to Dip:
  • Florets of broccoli or cauliflower
  • Baby carrots
  • Crusty-hard peasant bread cut into 1-inch cubes
  • Celery sticks
  • Unseasoned breadsticks
  • Tortilla chips
  • Pita chips
  1. In a medium bowl, toss together the cheeses and seasoning mix. Set aside.
  2. In heavy, 4-quart saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the garlic and tomatoes and saute, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes just begin to soften, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the cheese mixture and stir until the cheese is completely melted. Add the cream and stir until smooth. Transfer to a fondue pot set over an alcohol or sterno flame to keep it warm. Alternatively, transfer to a mini electric slow cooker and keep warm. Serve immediately.
