"It's so good, there's no limit to ways this sauce can be enjoyed," says Darlene Brenden, field editor from Salem, Oregon. "We use it as a fondue…a dip for tortilla chips or vegetables…or poured over grilled chicken, baked potatoes, etc."

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup butter, cubed
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
