How To Make Great Gravy

I have to qualify this. There have been very few gravies in my life I’d classify as bad gravy. But there have also been very few that I’d call GREAT gravy, too. Great gravy takes work, and that is not always something we have time for.

If you have it available, use a homemade beef-fat gravy that’s made from home roasted beef bones that have been cooked for a long cook time. The kind of stock that turns into jello in the fridge.

If you don’t have that, don’t let that stop you from making this meal. There’s a lot of room between “bad” and “great”, and some gravy is always better than NO gravy, so just whip out that package of gravy mix and leave that nagging voice in your head WAY in the dust.

Hopefully, you don’t have that nagging voice in your head that bashes you for using quick ingredients. Mine comes and goes.

The real secret to a GOOD gravy no matter if you have that magic homemade everything or not, is to start with a good roux. A GREAT roux can turn a boring packet of gravy into something pretty passable, and bordering on THIS IS REALLY GOOD.
