Alfredo sauce

This is everyone's favorite alfredo sauce with Bob's yummy addition of garlic powder. Our kids devour this right up!

(To make it "healthier" you can substitute fat free cream cheese and skim milk)

Melt together:
1 stick butter or margarine
1 box of cream cheese

Add in 1/4 cup parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup any other kind of cheese (we like mozarella or sharp cheddar cheese)
Add in garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste
Add in 1/2 cup of milk (percentage of your choice) and whisk slowly and thoroughly. If the sauce is too cheesy/stringy or too milky thin, then continue adding cheeses or milk depending on the consistency you'd like.

This is great on noodles, but it also works well for an alfredo pizza or for a fondue dipping night (those would be thicker sauces).

YUM!!!

I made this for dinner last night...it was so so good! It's even good mixed in with marinara sauce. It's a keeper :)
