• Stir in the flour and cook, stirring occasionally, until the flour is lightly browned, about 2 minutes.
• Transfer the onions to a 5 or 6 quart slow cooker. Add thyme sprigs and pepper. Pour the broth over the onions. Cover and cook until the flavors are blended 4-5 hours on high or 8-10 hours on low. Discard thyme sprigs when done.
