Recipe Notes

**You can also make your own Alfredo sauce or use a sauce that you prefer. While camping and overlanding, we find it a little more convenient to find a sauce that can be used in multiple ways.  The Victoria’s sauces are great for a base and dressing up however we like.   An added bonus is that they are vegan and don’t have ingredients that spoil as fast as others.
