Great gravy. I made this as directed and loved the deep rich flavor. Simple and good. Thanks Binxi for another keeper. Made for Fall PAC 2012.

I made this and it worked great and has lots of rich flavour. I didn't use mine on roast beef, instead with (Costco) meatballs. Because these meatballs already has lots of flavour I found the gravy alittle overpowering with them. When I make this again, I will probably use low-salt consomme if possible.
