★Instructions
Sauté the Onion and Garlic*
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Thicken the Sauce*
Sprinkle the flour over the onion mixture and stir well, letting it cook for a minute to form a light roux.
Add the Broth and Cream*
Slowly pour in the chicken broth and whisk continuously to prevent lumps. Stir in the heavy cream, making sure everything is well combined.
Season the Sauce*
Add salt, pepper, paprika (if using), and sugar (if you like a bit of sweetness). Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Incorporate the Cornbread:
Stir in the crumbled cornbread, letting it soak up the sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Garnish and Serve*
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm over more cornbread, roasted chicken, or vegetables for a comforting, hearty meal.
This cornbread sauce is rich, creamy, and full of comforting flavors, reminiscent of homemade love!
