Description
I found this recipe on youtube……for times when you don't have meat drippings, this makes a nice, smooth gravy without all the "junk" added to jar gravy or gravy mixes. (i like to make the beef gravy, then heat meatballs in it, and add a little sour cream for a nice "comfort food" to serve over noodles.)
"better than bouillon" can be found in your grocery near the soup bases or the chicken or beef broth.
