Brown gravy is a favorite sauce for mashed potatoes, roast and other homemade dishes. It is very simple to make and only takes around ten minuets from prep to done. Here's how.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Meat drippings (meat grease from roast, porkchops,ham, or other meat)
  • 3 cups meat broth
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Pan and a spoon
  1. Step 1

    Heat the pan on a low heat and put in the meat drippings.

  2. Step 2

    Add the flour and quickly stir.

  3. Step 3

    Add the broth slowely to avoid lumps.

  4. Step 4

    Cook until the mixture is the consistency you like in a gravy.

  5. Step 5

    Add salt and pepper, if needed, and serve.

Tips & Warnings
  • If you get lumps in your gravy, you can put the gravy in the blender to make it smooth, or you can mash out the lumps with your spoon.
  • Meat broth can be gotten from the cooked meat you got the drippings from, or bought in the cooking section of your grocery store.
  • The type of meat you got the drippings from should match the type of broth you use. For example, if you used beef drippings then you should use beef broth for the best taste.
  • Add the broth to the flour and drippings mixture right away or the mixture will burn.
