Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup low sodium beef broth
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon dried thyme
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Step 2
Once the butter has melted, gradually whisk in the all-purpose flour. Cook the mixture, whisking constantly, for about 5 to 7 minutes until it turns a light golden brown. This is your roux.
Step 3
Slowly pour in the low sodium chicken broth and low sodium beef broth into the roux, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Step 4
Add the onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and dried thyme to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Step 5
Bring the gravy to a simmer, cooking for about 5 to 7 minutes until the gravy thickens. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent anything from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Step 6
Once the gravy has reached your desired thickness, remove from the heat.
Step 7
Taste the gravy and adjust the seasonings if necessary, keeping in mind the low sodium goal.
Step 8
Serve the gravy hot over mashed potatoes, chicken, or other dishes of your choice.
