Homemade Brown Gravy Dry Mix

I am sure about everyone has seen packets of brown gravy dry mix at the store.  Today I am showing you how to make your own.  It is easy to do and very economical also.  On top of that, it tastes so much better too.

 

• • ¾ c. all-purpose flour or cornstarch
  • 3 T. beef bouillon granules
  • ½ tsp. pepper
  • ½ tsp. onion powder
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder

     Mix up all ingredients and store in a Ziploc baggie or small canning jar until ready to use.  Can be stored up to 6 months.

        To make gravy, measure out 3 tablespoons of the mix and place into a small saucepan.  Whisk in 1 ½ cups of water and bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking often.  Bring to a boil and then simmer 1 minute to allow the gravy to thicken.

       Prepared, this gravy will serve 4 and will have about 15 carbs per serving. 

   

  
  
          Serve over some homemade mashed potatoes or homemade slice of bread. 
   
  

    I also make a lovely chicken gravy dry mix.
