A Simple White Sauce for Home Food Storage

I dont know about you, but I would totally miss things like Mac and Cheese, Gravy and biscuits and Anything yummy with a sauce! So, using the ingredients from my emergency food storage I was determined to come up with a basic sauce that could be used in a multitude of ways! This can be a base for a casserole if you dont have a can of cream of mushroom, chicken or celery soup.


In a small sauce pan melt a 1/2 teaspoon Crisco "butter" flavored shortening.
Add 1/2 cup of flour and stir. Get the flour mixed in with the shortening thoroughly.
Then gradually add liquid, a little at a time and stir until you get the consistency you want.
The liquid should be water and powdered milk. BUT if you desire a more richer flavor add a little chicken base to your liquid. So, about 1 cup of water, 1 tablespoon of powdered milk and a 1/4 teaspoon of chicken base.
Add white pepper and a pinch of salt to taste!

*Add 1 cup of dehydrated cheese and mix well. Stir in 4 cups cooked elbow macaroni and you have homemade Macaroni and cheese!

* Add Re hydrated TVP that has been seasoned with beef base, garlic and salt and pepper for a great "hamburger gravy" to serve over noodles or instant mashed potatoes!

* Add one can of tuna (drained) 1/2 cup dehydrated peas, 1/4 cup of dehydrated carrots and some onion to serve over egg noodles for a great tuna noodle dish!

**** The options are limitless!****

I hope this helps you in some way! have a wonderful day!
"Hope for the best, prepare for the worse!"
Peace,
