2 tsp. butter
2 T. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
Few grains pepper
1/3 cup evaporated milk diluted with 3 T. water
1 tsp. grated onion
1 cup left-over vegetables, chopped and drained

These look so good!

We have lots of zucchini, and I bet these would be the perfect way to use some of it up!

Great recipe Crystal:)
