Ingredients

4 tbsp. Butter
4 tbsp. All-Purpose Flour
2 C. Chicken Broth
1 Cube Beef Bouillon
¼ tsp. Onion Powder
¼ tsp. Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper To Taste

Instructions

Make the Roux

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until light and golden. We're toasting, not burning.

Add the Flavor

Slowly whisk in the chicken broth until smooth. Drop in the beef bouillon cube. Add onion powder and garlic powder. Keep whisking so nobody clumps up and ruins dinner.

Simmer

Let the gravy simmer until thickened. You'll know when it is ready when it coats the back of a spoon and makes you consider pouring it on everything you own.

Notes

Make this ahead and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat gently on the stove and add a splash of broth if it thickens too much.
