No-Fat Gravy
"This is a very easy and quick NO FAT gravy to make. No fuss and you do not have to worry about the gravy going lumpy. I developed this recipe almost 20 years ago using my homemade chicken broth or vegetable broth."

This recipe is a Godsend to me - most bought gravies are loaded with salt. I was able to reduce the sodium even more by using reduced sodium broth. Sometimes I make homemade beef broth, so I'll use that to try making a beef gravy with this recipe. -
Also tried this recipe using beef broth and beef powder. Excellent! -

I made a roast and wanted to make a good beef gravy. I substituted anything saying chicken for beef, and made as directed in the recipe. I also used the drippings from the meat, as there was really no fat to speak of from my Tri Tip roast. The gravy was excellent! Nice and smooth and really flavorful. A perfect addition to my meat and mashed potatoes. I will treasure this technique for making gravy. Thanks Uncle Bill!

I had to improvise because I didn't have all the ingredients on hand. I used fresh chopped mushrooms instead of canned, 1 chicken bouillon cube for the chicken soup base, and two tbl of cornstarch mixed with 4 tbl or water instead of the potato flakes. Pretty tasty! (Looking forward to trying the recipe as it was written to taste the difference.)
