Submitted by Dienia B.

"I tagged I'mPat's recipe #377532 and there was no recipe there for this very tasty, easy to make, sauce so here it is. You could mix it up with the cheese. I used 1/2 Swiss cheese and 1/2 Parmesan cheese. You can use this on noodles, potatoes or rice."

Great sauce!!! I decided to use cheddar for the cheese and made this a bacon penne and cheese lunch. I made 1/2 of the sauce but still used the full amount of bacon and I did at least double the amount of cheese in order to get enough flavor from it. It didn't say what or when to use the bacon so I just added it right before serving so the bacon still had some crunch. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for PRMR Tag Game.

Very simple and very good!! I made this to go with penne for a decadent mac 'n'cheese, I used Parmesan for the cheese, and I must say, with the bacon and parmesan, no extra salt is required. Delicious, thanks for sharing, Dienia, definitely a make-again :)<br/><br/>Made for ZWT 8
