Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

I actually use a microwave to make the bechamel sauce by mixing the melted butter with the milk and flour, cooking for one minute, stirring, adding the grated cheeses, and cooking another minute, stirring after each cook. I find it much quicker and less messy. To shorten cooking time, soften potatoes and onions by microwaving them first.
