Magic Mix Gravy

When we think of holiday celebrations, what we most cherish about them are being with family, and eating good food. And I want to be able to provide the best food possible. Unfortunately, that may not always be the most fresh and the way I would prepare it under normal conditions. Like our topic for today.

I like to make my gravy from the drippings of whatever cut of meat it is that we're having. Add a little water if necessary, salt, pepper, and flour, and cook as usual. I loathe those envelops of gravy mix or the canned stuff.

But there will be times when I can't just pull a roast out of the freezer, like, because there hasn't been any electricity for months, and we still want to have as normal a Thanksgiving or Christmas Eve or Easter dinner as possible. Here's where Magic Mix comes to the rescue again. It's not my first choice for gravy, but it's a good second. Make the basic gravy below, scaling the quantities to fit your group (as written below, those amounts will serve 4-6 people), and then add desired seasonings.

Magic Mix Gravy (basic)
1 cup broth or 1 cup water added to meat drippings
1/2 cup Magic Mix
salt and pepper to taste

Beef Gravy Seasoning options
1-2 drops Kitchen Bouquet, (for color)
1/2-1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2-1 teaspoon onion powder

Chicken or Turkey Seasoning options
1/2-1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon dried parsley

Bring broth or water and drippings, to a boil over medium-high heat. Add magic mix, stirring continuously until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in additional seasonings, if desired.
