- Whisk in milk a little at a time; cook, whisking constantly, over medium heat until thickened and bubbly, about 10 minutes. Stir in salt & pepper to taste. Serve over steaks and mashed potatoes.

This is a keeper for our house. My husband loved(me too). I didnt change anything. Did not tenderize steaks again as Ninja said and it still turned out great. I added the hot sauce, maybe not the 3/4 teaspoon suggested and could not taste, but that worked out great for our 6 year old. Served with rice.

I'm a transplant from Alabama now living in a St. Louis, MO suburb. After many years as a senior consultant, I had to have major surgery with a long recovery period, which is when I found your site. What a thrill!!
I spent many years collecting cook books before losing them all (including my Mom's recipes) in a house fire. I still collect books when I can, but more often I frequent 'Zaar and get the best recipes!
I rate the recipes I really love, which is why most of my ratings are high. So far I haven't encountered a recipe I didn't like where I didn't change something in the original, and I don't think it fair to give a low rating under those circumstances.
