I subbed half and half for the whipping cream to save a few calories. It was very good, probably not as rich as the original. Made a little roux to thicken sauce. Hubby thought it was great!

I haven't made this in a while, but it is to die for! I was going to post it, but it was already here. This is well worth the effort...definitely not diet food!
