Cheesy Beer Fondue

From Sandra Lee via FoodNetwork.com



Ingredients:
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 (12-ounce) bottle lager beer
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 cups shredded Cheddar

Directions:
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes while stirring constantly to make a roux. Add beer and bring to slow boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally until mixture thickens to the consistency of heavy cream. Add Worcestershire, mustard and cayenne, stirring thoroughly. Add cheese 1 cup at a time, melting cheese after each addition. Stir fondue until it is smooth. Turn into fondue pot and serve.

Comments:
We LOVE the Melting Pot. Love love. But it's so expensive, we can't go there very often. So we make some fondue at home every once in a while to take the edge off. We eat ours with bread, granny smith apples, and broccoli (for Adam - I don't like raw broccoli.) I found this recipe a few years back and just keep using it. It's so easy and tasty.
