Combine the flour and butter and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the roux is light brown. Add the onion, pepper and garlic and saute for 2 minutes.

We love this! I keep containers in the freezer and we have it whenever we want or I don't have time to cook. I do the same with chili and beef stew.

Personal Notes:
Freeze leftovers, you can always use a meal that tastes this good in a pinch. Just put in a pot on low and let warm through.
