I will say this does taste just like the one at the Melting Pot. I did double it because we had 5 people and it was wonderful. I never did add the flour, but make sure you measure the cheese correctly versus using cup conversions (8 ounces of cheddar is 2 cups not 1 cup, as is 2 ounces of emmentaler is 1/2 cup not 1/4 cup). The emmentaler was not the problem since I shredded it mayself and used a scale to measure 4 ounces, but the cheddar was because I did add 2 cups and it was very runny then I read the bag and it said it was 8 ounces so, I just opened another bag and added it. After that everything did turn out perfect.

Wonderful, outstanding recipe! Took it to Fathers Day gathering and it was the hit of the party. Please measure your ingredients by weight, it makes a huge difference. I did try making it again by measuring and it didn't work out well!
