Philly Cooking Creme
Has anyone tried these yet? I'm going to make something with the Santa Fe one tonight I'm wondering if anyone has tried it before...

Re: Philly Cooking Creme
I read the ingredients and put it back. I'd rather make a cream sauce and add the spices. I'd probably do some sauteed chicken chunks, onions and bell peppers in the sauce over pasta.
Pasteurized nonfat milk and milkfat, water, whey, whey protein concentrate, salt, red bell peppers, cheese culture, onions, maltodextrin, garlic, tapioca starch, spice, yeast extract, sugar, lactic acid, corn flour, carob bean gum, guar gum, natural flavor, corn syrup, citric acid, chipotle chili pepper, lime juice, sorbic acid (as a preservative), jalapeno peppers, vitamin A palmiate.

1 tablespoon butter, 1 tablespoon flour. Melt butter, mix in flour and let cook for a minute. Add one cup of milk, stir constantly until thickened. You can double, triple or whatever and get the same stuff. To make it a thicker sauce, use 2T butter and 2T flour to each cup of milk.
That's a basic white sauce aka bechamel. It is one of the classic French 'mother sauces'. You can add cheese (including Philly cream cheese) to make a cheese sauce, or the spices listed above to make a southwest type sauce. Add sausage to make it sausage gravy. You can use it as the sauce in a chicken pot pie (I would add mushrooms or something to jazz it up a little). Chicken ala king over rice also uses bechamel. It can be the base for scalloped potatoes. It's the basis for cream soups like mushroom, chicken or celery.
I try to avoid chemically stabilized sauces with corn syrup in them. I am not trying to be nasty in any way, shape or form, but if you want to learn how to cook, learn to cook, which is not just adding processed stuff to your diet.

I agree now. It didn't have much flavor and it became really sticky. I'm sure I could figure out a way to make the same kind of thing either with the cream sauce recipe or another way. I won't buy them again.
this. I made the enchiladas, not good.
