Tips & Notes
- •I keep my gravy in a glass jar - it stays fresh in the fridge for about a week, and it's great for meal prep!
- •If you want a richer flavor, try adding a splash of liquid smoke or a pinch of smoked paprika.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I'll add sautéed mushrooms for an earthy twist that makes it even heartier.
- •You can also experiment with different herbs, like rosemary or sage, depending on what you're serving it with.
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftover gravy in an airtight container in the fridge. Just remember to reheat gently to avoid separation. It’s perfect for drizzling over leftovers!
Frequently Asked Questions
