Nice and creamy, I used 2 tins of tomatoes and sauteed the onion in the butter before adding the flour. Thanks for posting. -
really simple to make and good on a day where everyone in my house is sick and i was way too lazy to go to the store. i left out the cloves because i really just don't like them so much and i added garlic powder. i doubled the recipe for left overs and added a little more tomatoes also. :o) -
In ease, its right up there. In taste - yuck! If I was to make it again, I would only use a very small pinch of cloves if any. -
Wonderful Recipe, little variation, I added garlic powder and season salt in place of salt. Hubby loved it! -
I am definitely going to try this. I am sure this is the recipe I used to make 40 years ago and forgot. Thank you.

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes:
? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again.
? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time.
? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK
? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all
? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
