Aunt Katie’s Cornbread Dressing

My Sister-in-law's dressing is the best I have ever had. It's pretty much what made me like her when she started dating my little brother, just kidding! It's so good and my most favorite dish that she always makes me an extra to take home. I hope you enjoy this yummy dressing recipe just as much as I do!

The only alfredo sauce ever!

Alfredo Sauce

We have made this since we got married. We didn't like the taste of canned alfredo sauce and found the perfect taste here. This recipe is very versatile, you can add more cheese and different types, whatever your family likes. Make it yours. It's so yummy!

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 8 oz whipped cream cheese
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 cups milk I've only used whole milk for this recipe
  • 6 oz grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/8 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • melt butter in a non-stick saucepan over medium heat
  • add cream cheese and garlic powder
  • Stir with a whisk until all is smooth
  • Slowly pour milk in and keep whisking until all lumps are gone
  • Stir in parmesan cheese and pepper
  • Watch the consistency and when it is just right remove from the heat because the sauce will thicken rapidly. (If the sauce gets too thick then add more milk.)
