Beef Gravy Mix

When you're in a hurry and homemade gravy isn't an option, this dry beef gravy mix is a handy solution.  Simply use it in place of a purchased gravy packet.

Dry gravy mix:

1/2 cup flour

3 TBS beef bouillon granules

1 TBS garlic powder

2 TBS onion powder

1/2 tsp celery seed (optional - I did not use)

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 tsp dried thyme

Add all ingredients to a bowl. Mix well until fully combined. Store in an air-tight container or jar.

Makes: about 3/4 cup

To make gravy:

In a small saucepan, combine the following:

1/4 cup of dry mix 

1 cup of cold water or cold milk or cold beef broth (using a cold liquid will help prevent lumps)

Whisk well to prevent lumps. Stir over medium heat, stirring constantly.  Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened.

Makes 1 cup gravy
