Pizza Fondue

Pizza Fondue

Serves 4.

This recipe comes from my mom, and holds a lot of warm memories. Growing up, my family would typically go away on a ski weekend or two each winter. After a long, cold day of skiing, we'd head back to the condo, take hot showers, and pull on warm sweats. One meal that was traditionally enjoyed at each of these get-a-ways was pizza fondue. It's an easy, rustic meal, and a definite kid-pleaser.

1/4 lb. ground beef

1 T. butter

1/2 onion, chopped

14-oz. can pizza sauce

1/2 T. cornstarch

1/2 c. shredded cheddar

1/2 c. shredded mozzarella

1/2 t. fennel seed

1/2 t. dried oregano

dash garlic powder

1 big loaf french bread, ripped into chunks.

Brown onion and beef in melted butter over meduim-high heat. Drain fat.

Add remaining ingredients and cook over medium heat until cheese is melted.
