To prepare the sauce, you will typically combine the dehydrated mix with water and bring it to a simmer on the stovetop. Stirring is important to ensure the sauce thickens properly and to prevent any lumps from forming. Continue to cook and stir until the desired consistency is reached. The exact amount of water may vary slightly depending on your preference for thickness. Once prepared, it is ready to be poured over your favorite french fries and cheese curds.

Unlike pre-made liquid gravies, this dehydrated mix offers a fresher flavor profile as it is prepared just before serving. It also allows for customization of thickness by adjusting the amount of water used. The dry format means it doesn't take up refrigerator space until it's reconstituted.
