This recipe has been a hit with almost everyone we share it with. In fact, the Pieracini's make it in Ohio all the time now. It's a great idea to bring this to a neighbor or a friend in need of a warm, comforting meal. Thanks Mom for sharing this with us...YUMMY!

3/4 cup flour
1 cup milk
2 cups half & half

I've been making this for 15 years now, after it was brought to me after I had some surgery, and I don't know how many times I've given the recipe out. It's so good. I remember we called it Jessie's catnip, because if there were leftovers, it's all Jessie would eat...breakfast, lunch or dinner, until it was gone.
ReplyDeleteNote:
I like to cook the flour and butter for awhile....until it doesn't "smell" like flour anymore and it is nice and creamy. I know you do too, Michelle, just thought I'd clarify for others that you DO have to cook the butter and flour for a little while for the best results.
Thanks for posting, Michelle!
