Recipe Introduction

I'm trying to use less canned soups and make more of the sauces from scratch. This is a basic white sauce - I've used it for chicken pot pie and Shepherds Pie - just changing the broth - chicken or beef. Any comments or suggestions are welcomed!

List of Ingredients

6 tbsp. butter
6 tbsp. flour
2 cups milk
1 cup broth
opt. ingredients:
sliced mushrooms, onions, celery, green pepper


Recipe

Melt butter and stir in flour until smooth. Add the milk and broth and heat over medium heat until smooth and thick.
