Well, I cannot believe I am the first to rate this because this is fantastic for a instant gravy. I had been looking for a recipe like this so I can control the salt amount. I love this! I use no salt butter and no salt beef granules, and no one in my family misses the salt. My DH loves it, especially with my wild rice meatloaf (a nice change from ketchup). I pull a already baked meatloaf out of the freezer the day before, slice it, prepare this gravy base, pour and warm it up, and a great dinner is ready. My dad couldn't believe it was a mix, and with no salt. Thank you so much for sharing, with HBP, I can still have gravy whenever I want. I will never be without it again.
