Servings: 5
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon light butter
- 1 yellow onion thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- ¾ cup whole milk

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit.
- Add butter and thinly sliced onion to an oven-safe skillet over medium high heat. Saute until onion is softened and translucent.
