This is one of my favorite, most versatile recipes to have on hand. I call it a Bananas Foster sauce because that’s what it reminds me of, although I know it’s not necessarily authentic. It is still delicious though, and it tastes great with so many things.

We love to put banana foster over ice cream, but I have never thought to put it over oatmeal. I need to try it, it looks so good.

This was delicious! I had my hubby’s grandma and aunt over today for lunch to celebrate grandma’s birthday. I made your homemade beefaroni (adding a can of petite diced tomatoes) and served vanilla ice cream with this delicious sauce over the top! Grandma loves bananas foster, so she was delighted with this dessert. Thanks for the great recipe!
