I mostly do mine as a "pour-over" as that is how I first encountered
it. It's the "unique" ingredient in a regional speciality called the
"Horseshoe Sandwich". But I have also made/used it as a dip/fondue to
good success.  Bv)=

      Title: Horseshoe Sandwich
 Categories: Bread, Cheese, Potatoes, Sandwiches, Chilies
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
           French fries
      8 sl Toasted bread
      8 sl Baked ham *
           +=OR=+
      8    Cooked hamburger patties *
        pn Ground paprika

MMMMM---------------------------SAUCE--------------------------------
    1/2 lb Butter
      1 tb Salt
    1/4 lb (to 1/2 lb) flour
    1/4 ts Cayenne pepper
    1/4 ts Dry (Colmans style) mustard
      1 qt + 1 cup milk
      3 tb Worchestershire sauce
      3 lb Old English Cheddar cheese;
           - chopped
      1 pt Beer
 
  Melt butter, add flour and milk. Add rest of ingredients
  except beer. Stir constantly, while cooking, to a smooth
  cream sauce. Stir in beer to sauce just before serving.
  
  Makes 2 1/2 to 3 quarts.
  
  * Ham or hamburger are traditional. But, nearly any meat
  or seafood can and has been used. Pick your own.
  
  Cook French fries and keep warm in oven. Prepare Cheese
  Sauce.
  
  To assemble sandwich: Place 2 slices of toasted bread
  side by side on individual serving platters; top with
  either ham slices or cooked beef patties, cover with
  Cheese Beer Sauce, and mound a large amount of French
  fries on top and along the sides. To garnish, sprinkle
  with paprika. Serve immediately.
  
  UDD NOTE: My favourite is a 1/3 lb (or larger) burger
  patty and several slices of crispy cooked bacon as the
  meat(s). Makes a sort of bacon cheeseburger 'shoe.
  
  Makes 4 servings.
