If you are like me, I almost always forget something on my list at the grocery store. For some reason brown gravy mix is one of them. Taco seasoning used to be one of them too – which is why I started making my own! I have started doing this with brown gravy mix too. I always seem to have beef bullion so I thought, “I can totally make this myself!”
It is super simple and you will never be sorry you forgot to get the packet again. You can store it in a small mason jar in your spice cabinet and it is ready to use when you need it. If you don’t have beef bullion granules, you can just crush a beef bullion cube. Two tablespoons of this mix equals one brown gravy packet.
Making gravy is simple. Pour the drippings from whatever meat you have been cooking – either in the oven or crock-pot, into a 12 inch skillet on the stove on medium heat. Bring to a boil and sprinkle in two to four tablespoons of the brown gravy mix and whisk until thickened and there are no lumps. Take off the heat and serve.
This brown gravy mix can be substituted for any recipe that calls for a brown gravy packet. Two tablespoons for one packet.
