First, let me say, I love gravy. Homemade or canned, it doesn't matter. I substituted flour for the cornstarch, because after reading the other reviews I was concerned that it might separate. It worked great! This tasted like the gravy they used to serve on french fries in the high school cafeteria many years ago. Sometimes I miss those fries. Now I can have them anytime I want to! Thanks for a trip down memory lane.

I made this one night as my daughter LOVES gravy and I usually only make gravy when I do roast chicken or a roast meat. I made it exactly according to the recipe, but we simply did not care for the taste. It is similar in flavor to canned gravy, but the bouillion broth flavor really stood out to me. I think I didn't care for the contrasting chicken broth with beef bouillion flavor. It was just a funky flavor to me, and we did not care for it. Thanks for posting.

I love to cook. I went to culinary arts school for 2 years. I like to craft, read and listen to music in my spare time. I am addicted to cookbook, but the one I use the most is my Betty Crocker CookBook which I stole from my mother! lol Baking is my passion, although I don't think I do enough of it because I hate cleaning up afterwards. My pet-peeve is someone who is stuck up and think everything is beneath them.
