Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Make the Roux: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook for 2-3 minutes, whisking constantly, until the mixture turns a light golden brown.
- Add the Broths: Slowly add the chicken broth and beef broth to the roux, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
- Season the Gravy: Add the onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined.
- Simmer: Bring the gravy to a simmer, whisking occasionally, and cook for 5-7 minutes until thickened to your desired consistency.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve: Serve hot over mashed potatoes, fried chicken, or your favorite comfort foods.
Notes
- This gravy can be made ahead of time and reheated. Just add a bit more broth if it thickens too much upon cooling.
- For a richer flavor, you can use homemade chicken and beef broth.
