This is great on pasta or as a "cream soup" base if you don't want to use canned soup. I added smoked paprika to it. It was perfect!
Tried this one the other night,added some "variations" to it,turned out very well & I will use this one again of that I am sure! We used it as an alfredo sauce. I was very surprised.
This is one of the best basic sauce recipes. It's easy, creamy and you can make so many additions. It's really fun to work with.
THIS RECEIPE IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR.MY MOM USED TO MAKE CHICKEN WITH THIS SAUCE,INSTEAD OF WATER I USED FRESH CHICKEN STOCK AND I ALSO ADDED MUSHROOMS AND SOME ONIONS.VERY GOOD OVER EGG NOODLES.
Excelant sauce. I used it with noodles and meatballs. Like a swedish meatball. I just hope the extra stores well. ( In the frig ) Thank you for another wonderful easy recipe. Would give more stars if I could
This is the white sauce recipe I use all the time. It is the quickest, easiest, and tasty-est I have found.
Very good Sauce I have used it with chicken dishes mixed with cheese I used it with vegtables. As a basic sauce it is excellent and the possibilities are endless. Thank you Carnation you're also my Coffee creamer.
