Directions

1Brown a pound of sausage in a large pot, breaking it up as it cooks.
2Once the sausage is browned, remove it from the pot and set it aside in a bowl.
3Add two tablespoons of olive oil, two tablespoons of butter, and one diced yellow onion to the same pot.
4Sauté the onion for a few minutes until it becomes soft and translucent.
5Add two minced garlic cloves and sauté for about a minute.
6Stir in a quarter cup of flour to create a roux.
