This gravy has decent flavor, but needed something more --perhaps mushrooms, like the author suggests. I also didn't add the nutritional yeast or the cornstarch, and the texture was just as we like. One whole diced onion seemed like too much for our tastes, so we used about half a cup of frozen, diced onion. Once I sauted the onions I added chopped, fresh garlic (instead of garlic salt) and used my blender to make sure everything was smooth at the end (don't care for chunky gravy here). If anyone has any ideas for some spices to add to step this up a notch, please post them. I'd like to try this recipe again, but need some suggestions to make it yummier.
