I have just finished
I have just finished preparing this, loved it. The white sauce was so delicious.
Just made this amazing recipe. I did not need to ask my 3 year old to chew and swallow , she cleared her plate all by herself. Thank you. I did not have minced hence I used chunks of beef. I added some ajinamoto, paprika and white wine vinegar. Amazing!
