Cooking Steps
In a large pan, over medium low heat, melt the butter and add the frozen vegetables and 1/2 cup of the chicken broth.
Heat on medium low, lightly stirring until the vegetables are thawed and cooked, about 10-12 minutes.
In another large pot over low heat, cook bacon until brown and crispy.
Remove bacon, cool, and crumble.
To the bacon grease, add the chopped onion, and garlic and cook for 5 minutes.
Add the seasoned flour mixture to the pot and cook for 2 minutes.
Slowly add 1 cup chicken broth and stir using a whisk to prevent and remove lumps if needed.
Cook for 5 minutes until sauce thickens.
