Clear Value Brown Gravy Mix
What it is
This is a dry powder designed to be mixed with water and heated to create a savory brown gravy. It is typically made from a blend of starches, flavorings, and colorings that mimic the taste and appearance of traditional gravy made from meat drippings. The convenience of a mix allows for quick preparation without the need for slow simmering or pan drippings.
How people cook with it
Brown gravy mix is a versatile pantry staple used to enhance a wide variety of dishes.
- Topping for mashed potatoes
- Sauce for roasted meats

- Base for casseroles
To prepare, simply whisk the contents of the packet into the specified amount of cold water in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for a minute or two until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. For a richer flavor, some cooks may add a splash of broth or a pat of butter after thickening. It can also be used as a base for more complex sauces.
