I test tasted it before using it for wet burritos and it was very good. Cannot wait to make and use it for other dishes. Thank you.

Nice basic gravy - I've used the recipe several times (I also used the basic idea to thicken a casserole!) I have added a few extras - a bit of tomato paste, red wine, port etc. whatever the main dish called for. Thanks for posting.
