Fon "DO"

So we had a cookbook club "meeting" last night - and our theme was fondue!  Finally got to use those fondue pots we got from our wedding :)  It was really fun!!  We did a cheese fondue - and dipped bread in that.....which was super yummy!!  (we might have even filled up a little too much on that....)  Then we filled the other pot with oil - and cooked up some steak and chicken......the sauces for dipping are below.  (we liked the mustard one the best)

For 1 lb of chicken or beef – cut meat into cubes…..add 3 cups veggie oil into fondue pot.  Turn to 375 degrees – and let heat up (about 15 minutes).  Then just cook up the meat until it’s done.
