This sounded so good I couldn't wait to try it...made the mistake of using fat free half and half, which seemed to curdle or SOMETHING once it got hot...no one to blame but myself cause I should have followed the recipe exactly the first time I made it. The sauce looked so unappetizing, I added a can of cream of chicken soup to it, to thicken it up and smooth it out. Next time, I'll use the whipping cream as stated.
