Foodie Friday: Crock Pot Roast Gravy

Last week I did a pot roast in the crock pot and whipped up a gravy to go with it. You can use this basic recipe to make a beef gravy or a chicken gravy - all you need is the broth from your roast.

The basic recipe is simple. Take about 3 Tbsp. of butter and melt it in a saucepan. Sprinkle on about 3 Tbsp. of flour and mix it in until it browns up and isn't lumpy - called a roux (pronounced rue). Add several cups of the broth from your roast and simmer until it thickens up. Add some salt and pepper and you're ready to serve. Delicious!
