Make a Mix Monday: Brown Gravy Mix

Today I'm focusing on the Brown Gravy Mix I used to make my grandmother's Cabbage Rolls. I found the recipe for the mix over at My American Confessions.

Pros: 

• It smelled great and tasted wonderful!
• It only uses 6 ingredients
• Is super simple
• Since I didn't have a store bought gravy mix on hand
•  I feel like I saved myself money
• Saved a trip to the store (which now that I live out-of-town, is a savings of around 20 minutes)
• And saved my family from a few unknown preservatives.   

Win-win-win!

Cons: 

• It took about 5 minutes to make; so slower than store-bought.  Except, of course, that it is faster to make than to drive to the store and back. 

 

Although, for the unknown ingredients, I should look into a substitute for those Wyler's Beef granules - but one step at a time.  I feel like I'm still just a new-by at trying to keep recipes simple and from scratch. 

Anyway, check out the recipe over here.
