Instructions

Melt the butter in a saucepan, then whisk the butter and flour together. Add the seasonings and continue to whisk to create a roux.

Notes

I like to add a bit of chicken bouillon like better than boillion when using for things like slow cooker recipes or casseroles. Completely optional, but it adds more flavor.

Storage: You can refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 4 months.

Allergy considerations: For dairy free you can use vegan butter and plant based milk. To make this gluten free you can use a gluten free flour like Bob's red mill.

You may get less than 4 servings depending on how long you simmer and cook it down. You can add a bit more broth or milk to make up the difference if it's a small amount.
