6 slices bacon
(OR: liberal sprinkle of bacon salt.I like peppered bacon salt flavor the best for this one)
1 lb extra- sharp Cheddar, grated (some people don't like sharp, I often mix half sharp and half mild cheddar)
1½ Tbs flour
1 cup ale or lager beer
2 tsp dry mustard (may omit if you don't have any)
1 Tbs worcestershire sauce
black pepper to taste (omit if you've used peppered bacon salt)
1 Cook bacon until crisp. Crumble and set aside.
2 Toss cheese and flour in small bowl. (or toss flour into the cheese bag & shake it, if you've bought pre-grated cheese)
3 Put beer and seasonings into medium pot and bring to a boil. Slowly whisk in cheese in small amounts. When all cheese is added and melted, stir in bacon and black pepper to taste.
4 Serve with sliced apples and toasted french bread chunks.
