Drain and cool slightly and remove skins. Cut into 1/4 inch cubes. Set
aside.

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in medium skillet. Add chopped
onion; cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Whisk in flour. Add about 1
cup of the milk; cook, whisking constantly until thickened and smooth.
Add remaining milk, 2/3 cup cheese, salt, Worcestershire, pepper and hot
