1/2 cup margarine
1 cup chopped celery
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon salt
Melt margarine, celery and lemon juice in the bottom of a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat, and simmer for five minutes. Remove from heat, stir in flour, and add milk. Stir gently, without stirring much. Reduce heat to medium, and stir in flour mixture. Return to a boil, stirring frequently. Boil for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in lemon juice and salt. Pour mixture into slow cooker. Add meat stock, chicken stock, broth, cornstarch, butter, salt, pepper and oil. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, stir, and simmer for one hour.
This was really good--my husband loved it. I didn't have onion rings, but he said it was perfect. I didn't necessarily follow the recipe exactly, but I did follow the full recipe (after it was all said and written). I did follow the serving suggestions, which is tricky because you want to make sure your guests don't get sick of your recipe. So I didn't slice the bread too thin, and added a tiny bit of garlic powder, and onion powder, and baked them in mini-muffin cups. These turned out great--more cookies than I could have ever dreamed of, and they were SO good. I will make this time and time again!
