Notes
Pattie shells are now known best as puff pastry shells. Pepperidge Farms makes a frozen version that can be found in the freezer section of your grocery store.
Betty Crocker has a nice recipe for cream sauce. You will need to triple the cream sauce recipe at the link in order to make the 3 cups needed for this recipe.
