Dry Mixes

I was very small, and my Grandma made pot roast often. She would call, and I would ride my bike over to her house for dinner. She had wonderful, delicious gravy to pour over the roast, potatoes, and carrots. Memories of happy meals are so nice to carry into adulthood.

Where can we use brown gravy?

Add it to the beef and vegetables tucked into a pie crust for a lovely beef pot pie. Be sure to crimp the edges of the crust together and cut a few slits with a knife to allow the steam to escape. I have made cupcake size pot pies and frozen them for a work-free meal. Just top with gravy and enjoy.

We can use it as a gravy for Egg Fu Yung- and egg dish sauteed with many vegetables such as snow peas, carrots, celery, bean sprouts, scallions or actually anything you might like to add. When you flip over the Egg Fu Yung patty to cook a bit more, you can then transfer to a plate and top with brown gravy mixed with a very low sodium soy sauce.

Another idea is to use the brown gravy mix in a good beef barley soup to thicken and season it.

The brown gravy can be used on pot roast, carrots, onions, potatoes, celery if you use a crockpot to cook it all day. Just slather everything with the low sodium gravy.

Make low sodium beef meatballs in the slow cooker and add the gravy to the pot and allow it to cook all day. I like to do this for topping mashed potatoes or pasta. I also use these for appetizers at parties also.

Make poutine with French fries, gravy and a bit of cheese melted on top. Hot roast beef sandwiches can be made open-faced with low sodium bread, well-cooked beef and gravy overall. Salisbury steak is another idea for using brown gravy. Don’t forget that you can use brown gravy on a low sodium meatloaf. Low sodium beef stew is wonderful with tasty brown gravy. Use this low sodium beef gravy in beef stroganoff for a lovely meal. Shepherd’s pie is a great use of brown gravy with a lovely topping of wonderful mashed potatoes and baked in the oven until the potatoes are lightly browned.

How many times have you wanted brown gravy for a meal and there was none to be found? To be able to make up a large batch of the dry mix and store it in a cabinet is a real time saver.

Enjoy thinking of more uses for this very convenient dry mix that you will have on hand for very quick meal additions.
