1 Cook bacon in a saucepan over medium heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside, leaving about 1 tablespoon fat in the pan.
2 Add butter to the pan. Sauté shallot and celery until very soft, 5 to 6 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
3 Sprinkle in flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in broth, then milk. Bring just to a gentle simmer (be careful not to boil).
4 Reduce heat to low. Add cheese in small handfuls, stirring until melted and smooth.
5 Stir in Worcestershire, hot sauce, and mustard. Season with pepper. Serve topped with reserved bacon.
