Cup of Yum
Notes
- Omit the cream of chicken soup and melted butter.
- Melt butter in a saucepan, then sprinkle in flour and whisk to combine. Let cook about a minute, whisking often.
- Slowly pour in the chicken stock, whisking as you pour, then do the same thing with the cream. Whisk sauce and cook on MED heat until you have a thick sauce.
- Season with directed seasonings, then combine with potatoes and cheese as in step 3 above. Proceed as directed.
- Assemble casserole WITHOUT the cornflake topping, cover tightly, then refrigerate for 1-2 days or freeze for up to 2-3 months. Thaw, if frozen, then bake as directed, adding 10-15 minutes to the cook time.
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/3 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup half and half or heavy cream
