RecipesGravy Mix -- as Easy as Pot Pie!
Gravy mix doesnð€™t just have to be for making plain olð€™ gravy -- put it to work! Itð€™s a great value, easy to use (really, you donð€™t need to know how to cook at all to combine a mix with water), and makes a wonderful comfort food. So why limit it to just pouring gravy over mashed potatoes? Invite some gravy mix home and have some fun with it!
But donð€™t waste your money on those packets of stuff you can buy at the grocery store; not only are those gravy mixes inferior in quality, but they come in packets that either have to be used all at once or which then go to waste if you have some left over. (And I wonð€™t even talk about the mess on the shelf when opened ones inevitably get knocked over -- gravy mix dust gets all over everything!) Invest in a good quality product like Rawleighð€™s Brown Gravy Mix, which is the best one available. I enter cooking contests for a hobby, and Ið€™ve tried a LOT of sponsor products, so I can wholeheartedly vouch for Rawleighð€™s. The taste is superior, and their brown gravy mix also comes in a resealable jar so that itð€™s always fresh whenever you need it. So once youð€™ve got your gravy mix, letð€™s see what we can do with it.
Follow the instructions to make your gravy, and then stir in some cooked beef cubes, carrots and peas. Voila! A humble gravy mix becomes the filling for a pot pie, or it can be served as beef stew. Add a bit of red wine, and make it a sophisticated Boeuf Bourgignon! Stir in some instant barley and mushrooms to make Beef Barley Soup. Take out the barley and pour the soup over noodles or mashed potatoes for consummate comfort food. Gravy mix can be the basis of countless meals, with just a bit of imagination thrown in.
Gravy mix can also be used to enhance foods by stirring 1 or 2 tablespoons into a variety of foods. Perk up your meatloaf or your burgers by mixing a bit into the ground beef. Make a sauce with your gravy mix to brush over a roast. Stir some into sloppy joes or chili ð€¦ the possibilities are endless! Gravy mix not only makes your life easier, but so much more delicious, too!
