Roundy's Country Gravy Mix
What it is
This is a powdered mix designed to quickly create a creamy, savory country-style gravy. It typically contains flour, seasonings, and sometimes dried milk or fat. The convenience of a mix means you can have homemade-tasting gravy ready in minutes without needing to start from scratch with drippings and flour.
How people cook with it
This mix is a popular shortcut for adding a rich sauce to breakfast dishes and other meals.
- Over biscuits
- With fried chicken
- On mashed potatoes
- As a base for casseroles
To prepare, you typically combine the powder with cold water or milk in a saucepan. Whisking is important to ensure the powder dissolves smoothly and to prevent lumps from forming. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens to your desired consistency. The amount of liquid can be adjusted slightly to make a thicker or thinner gravy. It's best to serve it hot, immediately after it has thickened.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike gravies made from pan drippings, this mix offers a consistent flavor and texture every time. It also provides a convenient option when pan drippings are not available or when a quicker preparation is needed. The flavor profile is generally mild and savory, designed to complement a variety of dishes.
Who it is for

How to keep the rest
After opening the package, it's best to store any remaining mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help maintain its freshness and prevent clumping. Proper storage ensures the mix remains usable for future meals.
