Pizza Fondue

This pizza fondue is great party food served with bread sticks, toasted garlic bread rounds, croackers, or tortilla chips. Feel free to stir in other pizza toppings such as black olives or chopped banana peppers.

Creamy Pizza Fondue

1/2 pound ground beef or ground sausage
1 Small onion -- chopped
1/2 tablespoon melted butter or olive oil
2 cans (10 oz.) pizza sauce (check for gluten)
1 tablespoon Cornstarch
2 teaspoons Dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon Garlic powder
1-2 cups Shredded Cheddar cheese -- (about 10 ounces)
1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese -- (about 4 ounces)
Cut up pepperoni, if desired (check for gluten)
Chopped mushroom, if desired

In a large frying pan, cook ground beef and onion in butter over medium heat, stirring to break up lumps of meat, until beef is browned and onion is softened, 5 to 7 minutes. In a medium bowl, combine pizza sauce, cornstarch, oregano, and garlic powder. Stir until well mixed. Add to ground beef mixture in pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens and bubbles, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add cheese, a third at a time, stirring well after each addition. Transfer to a chafing dish, fondue pot, or small crockpot for serving.
