This is utterly delicious. I managed to get the onion parts backward but I don't think that the flavor suffered from my impetuous pourings. The sauce is really outstanding with my fat reduction. I used fat free evaporated milk for the cream with a touch of corn starch to thicken. Company worthy and faster than waiting in line at McDonald's (not to mention far superior!).
