"Excellent! I used milk instead of cream, and grated cheddar instead of American, and saltines rather than Ritz crackers, and it was really good. Try adding more milk to create a salsa and pour it ove..." See morer grilled or sauteed fish filets. Or create a roux with butter and garlic, add flour, then thin with milk and add leftover squash casserole, add crabmeat (the fake stuff worked fine) and serve over angel hair pasta. Really versatile."
