Gravy

[LongtimeRamsFan42]

I agree. You can add as many herbs or spices that you want, but it's all about the pan drippings! Seems like whenever someone doesn't use 'em, I always pick up that raw flour taste. I sometimes have trouble making white gravy because I go too dark with the roux- I want zero trace of that flour taste

Well that raw flour taste is COMPLETELY different..That means they were lazy and didn't cook out the flour long enough at the start of the process

I am lazy. I usually use a peppered gravy mix from the bulk Winco bin & thin it out a little while mixing in sausage drippings. If its just me, I add a ton of pepper.

What do you add to the mix? Water? Butter? just curious

Add heavy cream, corn starch, sour cream and pepper to your sausage once it's browned. Probably add your sautéed onions or shallots once you got your corn starch evened out. Want it thicker, add corn starch in very little increments. Want it thinner, add heavy cream.

Once you mention shallots, you win

Water is added to original powder mix. Then some drippings. But after I bring it to a boil, I'll add a some milk. There is just too much sodium in the mix for me & my family when combined with drippings.

This is not something we eat regularly. Maybe once a month when the family gets together for breakfast at one of our houses.

Like I said, I/we are too lazy to normally make gravy from scratch in my family.

powder mix??? stop right there....SO not necessary From scratch is SO easy and SO much better

It's soooo easy, though.

I think why so many people give up on making it from scratch, is because they can't keep it from getting lumpy. Add too much flower or corn starch at once, rather than slowly spooning it in.

It really is...Good cooking is really SO easy if you're willing to take the time(which isn't as much as you'd think)

I love making sausage and gravy... because I also get to make caramel rolls. My caramel is the bomb.... and combined with the gravy... it is not a healthy meal.... but it's soooo good.

I agree in a way, cooking in some ways, just like baking, is chemistry....All you have to do is whisk the cornstarch/arrowroot in to thicken it properly...However, Baking is more like Chemistry, cooking is not quite an exact science

Yes, but lazy...
