Another golden oldie recipe from a handwritten recipe card from 1960. A simple combination of beef broth and mushroom soup. You can serve it with meatloaf or hamburger patties for hot hamburger sandwiches. Or just top some french fries for 'chips and gravy'. Or use it to make hot beef, hot chicken or turkey sandwiches with leftovers. Slice cooked meat, place on a slice of bread, pour gravy on top. Add seasonings to taste.

3 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 (19 ounce) can beef broth
3/4 cup water
1 (10 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup

Directions

1
Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat.
2
Blend in flour. Cook for one or two minutes.
3
Add broth and water gradually.
4
Cook and stir until thickened, about 5 to 10 minutes.
5
Add mushroom soup, stirring constantly, until fully blended.
6
Lower heat and cook for another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Great country stlyle gravy recipe! Hearty and sticks to your ribs! This is beefs best friend! Makes a great base gravey which can be tweaked to suit. I made it as written, but added Kitchen Boquet to darken it up. Next time I will try the "fresh onion and/or mushroom treatment", and maybe a splash of marsala or sherry to kick it up a notch - "BAM"! I will also be trying to make this gravy for poultry too, however subsitute chicken broth and cream of chicken soup.

We enjoyed this gravy over pork chops and added fresh mushrooms and sauteed onions for added texture. We also used only 1/2 can of soup as we prefer our beef gravy a bit darker. We used some gravy master also, and minimal spices. This is a very good gravy and is very simple and easy to prepare. Being proffesional truck drivers, we can honestly say that this is better than any gravy we've had at a truck stop.

I had been wanting to make this since the day you posted, and I wasn't dissappointed! Easy and tasty! Next time I will put some sliced fresh mushrooms in it too. I made this to go over beef patties and it was a delicious meal!
