Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp Unsalted butter
  • 3 tbsp All-purpose flour
  • 2 cup Chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup Beef broth
  • 1 tsp Black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp Onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt

Method
 

  1. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it begins to foam.
  2. Whisk in the flour and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the roux turns a deep golden brown.
  3. Slowly pour in the chicken broth and beef broth while whisking to prevent lumps.
  4. Add the black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt, then bring to a simmer.
  5. Simmer for 5 to 6 minutes, whisking occasionally, until the gravy thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  6. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, chicken, or biscuits.
