How To
Stir constantly over low heat just until thickened
Beginner cooks are often unfamiliar with the technique of making a white sauce. Yet, many families are rediscovering the value of home-cooked meals and the importance of saving money on groceries. Some of the common menu choices for budget-conscious families are casseroles and vegetarian fare. These families often encounter two common dilemmas.
Meat-stretching casserole recipes often call for canned, condensed soups, which can make the dish more expensive.
Some home cooks need ideas for tasty vegetarian menus.
A white sauce can suit both purposes.
Using Variations of the Basic White Sauce Recipe
The terrific thing about mastering a white sauce is versatility. The recipe can be varied in endless ways.
To substitute white sauce for a cream soup in a casserole, add bouillon and a few herbs. This recipe is comparable to a 10 oz. can of condensed soup, and the homemade white sauce is much more affordable.
Make it with cheese for noodles or other pasta, simply add some shredded cheese to adjust. Place a lid on the saucepan and allow the cheese to melt. (This is also a good way to get kids to eat broccoli!)
Wine, broth, or a combination of the two can be used for a sauce for vegetables or meat. A touch of soy sauce can add a hint of meaty taste to a meat-stretching meal.
Olive oil can be used in place of butter if appropriate.
The amount of flour can be decreased to make a thinner sauce or increased to make a thicker sauce.
