Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2- gallon milk more or less depending on the consistency you like
Instructions
  1. Melt: 1 cup butter (I am cringing that I am really admitting I use 2 cubes of butter)
  2. Add: 1 cup flour, stirring constantly to make a roux (a mixture of fat and flour).
  3. Add: 1/2-gallon milk, stirring constantly, I really do mean constantly. LOL, or you will have lumps!

  4. You can make creamed chipped beef on toast or biscuits with this sauce by adding chopped beef. You can also make macaroni and cheese by adding cheese to this sauce and pouring over cooked macaroni. Creamed tuna on toast was a meal we had almost every week when I was growing up.
