Kraft Kitchens Tips

Serving Suggestion

Balance this special-occasion entree with smart side dishes. For example, try a mixed green salad and a hot steamed vegetable.

Special Extra

Use toasted almonds for extra flavor. To toast, cook and stir almonds in skillet on medium-high heat until lightly browned. The natural oils from the almonds prevent them from sticking to the pan.

This was excellent. I made a mistake by making the white sauce/gravy following the package directions before seeing I was to sub the mike for water but even with this it was great! I think next time I might sub cream for the milk. But as my wife said " this is a keeper"

This was an easy recipe. I love the flavored cream cheese in it. You can also serve it over dinner rolls (I made the refrigerated kind).

This recipe was easy and yummy! To make it for a dinner, you will need to serve two per person, but it also makes a nice appetizer. Note: be sure when baking the pastry shells that you place them the correct side up!
