Very good flavor - I used half and half instead of cream to cut the calories a little. I'll keep it in my "favorites"!

This was really good. However I did leave out the butter and just dusted 1/4 cup flour over the meat, stirred and let it roast 1 minute and then added the stock and cream. Works just as well without all that butter. Thanks for posting, this is a keeper.

Oh my gosh, this is sooooooo good! The only substitution I made was milk for the whipping cream since I didn't have any cream. I served this over mashed potatoes and it was delicious; I will try it with the pasta next time. I made your Fresh Green Beans Delux (Fresh Green Beans Deluxe), what a meal!

Inez, you've gone and done it again! This is a tremendous dish, the sauce is so creamy and the basil flavor really stands out! I followed the recipe exactly and wouldn't change a thing! This one will be made often by me!
