Easy Brown Gravy Recipe With No Pan Drippings (10 Minutes, 8 Ingredients) Budget Recipes Low Carb Recipes Sauces/Condiments Side Dishes Beef Gluten-free Low Sugar Recipes

Have you ever just wanted a plate of mashed potatoes with a rich brown gravy, but you don't want to cook meat to get the drippings to make a gravy? We feel you. But guess what? You can make a silky, rich, homemade brown gravy without meat drippings. And it's quick and easy.

This budget-friendly brown gravy recipe is made with chicken broth, beef broth, a beef bouillon cube, onion powder, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, Kitchen Bouquet, water, cornstarch and butter. The ingredients simmer gently on the stovetop until it reaches your desired thickness. The longer it cooks, the richer and more intense the flavors are.

If you're not familiar with Kitchen Bouquet, it is a browning and seasoning sauce that adds a rich brown color to food. If you don't have it, that's OK. The gravy will still be delicious, just a little lighter in color.

Serve this low-carb rich brown gravy over mashed potatoes, beef, chicken-fried steak, as a topping for meatloaf or however you like to eat gravy.
