This is delicious. However, 4 cups of cheddar was too much. I got to 3.5 cups, and it was getting too thick. I've made a lot of other cheese fondue recipes to know if I put in anymore cheese, it was going to get too thick and perhaps congeal. I think 3 cups would be perfect. Next time, I'll use 3 cups. Yes, there will be a next time because otherwise, this is probably the best tasting cheese fondue I've ever made!

This was a hit at my house. I had a lot of cheddar and a heineken. I didn't have worcheshire sauce though. It was really tasty with day old white french bread.
