How to Make Gravy from a Crock Pot Roast (Including Recipe)

Ingredients:

* 3 tablespoons butter

* 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

* 2 cups beef broth

* 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

* 1 teaspoon dried thyme

* 1/2 teaspoon salt

* 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

1. After cooking your crock pot roast, remove it from the pot and set it aside.

2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour until it forms a smooth paste (the roux). Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.

3. Gradually whisk in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the gravy has thickened.

4. If desired, strain the gravy to remove any lumps. Serve immediately with the crock pot roast.

Tips for Making Gravy:

* Be sure to cook the roux until it is golden brown. This will add flavor and color to the gravy.

* Gradually whisk in the beef broth to avoid lumps.

* Simmer the gravy for at least 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

* If the gravy is too thick, add a little more beef broth. If it is too thin, cook it for a few minutes longer.

* Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices to create your favorite gravy flavor.
