Boatload of gravy

Here's how to make quick pork chop gravy from pan drippings without flour. Scratch doesn't have to be hard, and it tastes much better!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Heat your skillet before adding the oil, then brown your bare pork chops until they are caramelized and cooked through. Remove the chops to a warming plate or microwave that has a "Hold Warm" setting. Remove the skillet from heat temporarily.
Step 2

Use a measuring cup of cold water to dissolve the cornstarch in. If your cornstarch is lumpy you can sift it or press the lumps with a spoon. Dissolve the bullion in the hot water. In another cup pour your milk.
Step 3

Return the skillet to heat, add the cornstarch and water mixture and use a spatula to loosen the pan drippings as you mix your ingredients. The gravy will look light in color at this point. Continue heating the mixture until it starts to thicken.
Step 4

Add bullion and hot water and continue to stir the gravy over the heat. As the gravy begins to reduce, add the milk, salt and pepper. For thinner gravy add a little water, but don't overdo it. Intense flavor develops as you reduce the liquid by evaporating it out. Adding too much water ruins the taste of the gravy. This will serve four.
