Add flour and milk and cook 3 minutes. Take off heat, stir in sour cream, cheese,

Eggs and garlic salt.

Put in a greased casserole (9x13)

(Can be made a day ahead and bake it the day of use) Sounds like a lot of work, but it is excellent.

Nanci's Buffalo Chicken Wings

Nanci and I met at the gym. We became good friends and later I even worked for her.She has a large family and loves to have them all over for big Sunday dinners. I have not tried these yet, but I know they will be great.

Buffalo Wings TGIFridays Style

15 chicken wings (about 3 lbs.)
Sauce:
1/4 cup catsup
2 tbl. hot pepper sauce ( I use chili powder instead, the hot pepper sauce is rather hot)
1 tbl. Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp. vegetable oil
2 tsp. garlic salt
Ranch dressing for dipping

Heat broiler. Line broiler pan with foil for easy clean up. Cut wings apart at joints. Mix sauce ingredients in a large bowl, add chicken and turn to coat well. Arrange on broiler pan rack. Reserve remaining sauce. Broil 3-4 inches from the heat source for 12 minutes. Turn pieces over and brush with reserved sauce. Broil 8 to 10 minutes more until browned and cooked through. Arrange on platter with ranch dressing. ENJOY
