Notes
For a richer sauce, you can add 4 ounces of softened cream cheese along with the other ingredients. If the sauce is too thin, you can thicken it by mixing a tablespoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of water and stirring it into the sauce during the last 30 minutes of cooking. This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of steamed green beans or a simple salad.
