Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups fat-free (skim) milk
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil or butter
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped (1 cup)
  • 4 medium unpeeled potatoes (1 1/2 pounds), cut into 1/4-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    This stew is so thick and creamy, you'll want to make it the star of your meal. At 2 1/2 Carbohydrate Choices, you could partner it with a slice of crusty French bread and a fresh garden salad for a stick-to-your-ribs dinner.
