White sauce help needed....

19. Tabasco - Yes!

When I make a white sauce or a cream gravy, I always add a few shakes of Tabasco. Same for soups where milk is used like bean or lentil soups or corn or potato chowder, they need that shake of Tabasco. I use it as a seasoning for bland foods all the time.
When I made a cream gravy for my chicken fried steak, I also add a little sage and of course plenty of black pepper. I use the drippings from frying the meat.

In a restaurant, they deep fry the meat so they don't have any good pan drippings, that is why they are using a white sauce mix. You an buy a package of white sauce where you just add water, but please don't Learn to make your own, it is easy and that way you know exactly what you are eating, no hidden chemicals. Use a whisk to stir when make the sauce or gravy, keeps it from lumping up.
