Homemade Alfredo Sauce

(from mdauphin’s recipe box)

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • .75 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • .5 teaspoon salt
  • .5 teaspoon pepper

Directions

  1. Directions:

  2. Melt butter in a saucepan on medium-low heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour. Gradually add milk, whisking to combine as you go. I generally add it about 1/2 cup at a time, whisk, then wait for the milk to heat up and thicken a bit before adding more. Once all the milk has been added and it’s hot {do not boil!} add the cream cheese. Whisk to combine. Heat the sauce back up before adding the Parmesan cheese. Simmer this until all is melted, and mixed well. Use as needed in recipes.

  3. Freezing Directions:

  4. Cool sauce, then store in freezer safe containers. Thaw and serve or use in recipes.
