Magic Mix is a wonderful thing. If you have never tried it is a white sauce mix that uses food storage ingredients to make delicious alfredo, cream of mushroom (or whatever) soup, or pudding.
Magic Mix was originally developed by USU extension using fresh butter and requiring refrigeration. A couple of years ago I started making it with powdered butter. Using powdered butter makes magic mix shelf stable, giving you extra room in your fridge. You can check out my original post on making magic mix here.
If you are already familiar with magic mix make sure you scroll down to the new uses that I have added: including Alfredo, vanilla pudding, pumpkin custard and microwave directions.
