Well who doesn’t love pizza? And cheese? And party food? Let’s throw all those things together and enjoy some pizza fondue! Great for gatherings… like next Sunday’s Super Bowl.
Let your imagination run and throw together any sort of combination your crowd loves. Pepperoni is probably “the” all time most loved pizza… so start there. I have also included a Hawaiian pizza fondue… for folks like me that are not fans of pepperoni!
You can also have fun with dippers… with veggies, crackers, pork rinds for low carbers, tortellini and whatever your imagination comes up with! Bake in your oven, or cook on the grill… over indirect heat.
