  1. Delicious! Have been chasing a good garlic sauce for awhile now and this was a hit, added a little shredded cheese the second time making it which was yum also.
    Went perfectly with the lemonade silverside 😉

    Tried this tonight. Delicious. Even my 8 year old son liked it. He doesn’t like alot of sauce.

    We had left over sauce. I froze it. Defrosted it today. As delicious as the day I made it.

  4. Love this sauce! I have it over roast chicken. I add a little extra garlic. Yesterday I also added parmesan and some onion powder at the beginning. Can’t wat for the seconds tonight!

    Love it ?. Made this last night and had it on meatball subs
    Thanks for sharing this recipe.
    Definitely a keeper ?

    Tried this tonight, the sauce split and it looks like there is way too much butter?
    Followed the recipe but added Parmesan as I’d seen in the comments.
    Any ideas?

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central August 27, 2019

      I would follow recipe exactly (without adding cheeses) as that’s how it’ intended to be done 🙂
      Also did you use “cooking cream” as listed?
      More info on splitting HERE

  7. If you don’t have mustard powder can you use mustard instead?
    I have Dijon, seeded and mild English muffin, would any of those substitute okay?0

  8. Most amazing garlic sauce I’ve ever had under my own roof!!
    Now I didn’t add the mustard sauce as we had none but wow this sauce left us speechless!

    Hi, do you add the mustard at the beginning or towards the end of the cook?
    Thanks in advance.

  10. This sauce was ahhmazing! Wish I’d tried it sooner. I used it as a tuna Mornay sauce, and even my fussy kid licked her bowl! Definitely going to be a regular in our rotation.

  11. If I was to use minced garlic instead of cloves would that work and what would the ratio be?

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central May 4, 2022

      That’s no problem Bianca. Just check your jar but most will say 1tsp + 1 clove

    Cooked this & used as a choice with gravy! Everyone loved it & none left however plenty of gravy left!

    This sauce was so deliciously easy!!! I didn’t add the mustard, next time I will add shallots for a little extra zing! It paired beautifully with my homemade schnitzel, now I want to get some prawns. I’m hoping it does freeze well because I have heaps! Is there anything my slow cooker can’t do????

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central January 2, 2023

      In answer to your question, haha no, nothing we can’t do!! 😉
      Well except maybe deep fried is the only exception but who needs that anyway 🙂

    the best garlic sauce, easy to make, goes with anything! kids love it with pasta and as a dipping sauce, I like it over the top of a steak or chicken breast

  15. Pauline ok to use light n creamy carnation insead of full cream.. Use it all the time…was wondering if that would split in SC in this receipe!! Sounds ‘delish’ !!..cheers H

    1. Paulene @ Slow Cooker Central February 22, 2023

      I’ve never used a carnation milk in this one myself Helen – I fear it would split and you’d be lacking the full creamy nature that’s intended of this sauce
      Some tips that might help HERE
      If you try it do let me know how it went ok? 🙂

    I’ve been dying to try this recipe for ages now & tonight I finally did. Delicious, easy, freezes well. I cooked half the recipe but it still made loads, Paulene your husband is a marvel. I’m only going to make this garlic sauce recipe in future.

    This sauce was amazing, I made it with lactose free cream and yum. I once cooked I took the sauce out and put in a pan to poached my fish. I was going to add the fish to slow cooker however my fillets were part frozen. What a great sauce empty plates all round.

    Absolutely loved the sauce and it was easy to prepare.
    I had a bag of shelled frozen cooked prawns that still had their tails on that I threw in at the end until heated through. The tails helped to slow everyone’s eating down removing them at least! Served with steamed rice and veggies.

      So happy you enjoyed our recipe Donna – and thanks so much for taking the time to leave your feedback too! 🙂
