What it is
This is a powdered mix designed to create a smooth, savory brown gravy without added fat. It is a convenient pantry staple for adding depth of flavor to a variety of dishes. The mix contains dehydrated ingredients that rehydrate when combined with liquid, forming a rich sauce base. It is typically made with starches, flavorings, and seasonings to achieve a classic gravy taste.

To prepare the gravy, simply whisk the contents of the package with cold water or broth in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
