Instructions
1
Slice the kielbasa into rounds; since there's more sausage now, pan-sear or grill in batches over medium-high heat until warmed through and slightly caramelized, about 6-8 minutes total.
2
In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the beer with garlic until it just simmers.
3
Gradually whisk in shredded cheddar cheese in batches, stirring constantly until smooth and melted.
4
Toss the cornstarch with a splash of beer or water to make a slurry, then stir into the cheese mixture to thicken.
5
Stir in dijon mustard and season with a pinch of paprika; adjust consistency with more beer if needed.
6
Pour the finished beer cheese fondue into a cast iron fondue pot and garnish the top with a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
7
Arrange the larger portion of sliced kielbasa, grapes, apple slices, and crackers around the fondue pot on a wooden serving board.
8
Scatter fresh rosemary sprigs and a small bowl of whole peppercorns as garnish.
9
Serve immediately with beer alongside for dipping and pairing.
