McCormick Brown Gravy Mix, 6 lb

What was I thinking buying 6 lbs of gravy (*SMH*, lol). This will last me a long time, and I know it will stay fresh for a long time- there is nothing to go bad, and the container is durable with a good lid. The price is much more reasonable than small bottles or individual packs.It can be used for so much beyond just gravy- use it to flavor up some roasts, add a little to soups, add to other dishes that benefit from flavor boost and some creaminess. And of course for use as a gravy. I sometimes like a little dish of gravy alongside some fries. I simply do not make enough meat to be able to make a fresh gravy every time I want it. Also, I dont have that ambition.Anyway, I like it-- very easy to make, no fuss, really no effort. Tasty enough for all my gravy needs!

This mix is great for making gravy and adding to stew ,the taste is good and the value is great .

Excellent product at an excellent price.

Flavorfully & a good deal.

Taste is great as always. I received (2) chicken flavored packets in place of the brown gravy that I ordered.

My favorite brand for my gravy needs. Easy to cook and tastes amazing.

Well, you could knock me over with a feather. Good-tasting gravy from a POWDER? I would never have believed it if I hadn't tried it myself.I'm single, and although I like to cook, I don't often make a big roast. So making gravy isn't something I do very often, although I really enjoy it with a small steak over mashed potatoes. Saw this, read some of the reviews, and decided it was worth a try.As others have pointed out, the instructions are under a peel-down nutrition label on the back. My first test involved making approx 1 C of gravy using the microwave instructions: combine 3 Tbsp of powder with 1 C of hot water, whisk until smooth, then nuke for 2.5-3 min at full power, whisking after each minute (basically, I just hit the "1 minute express" button, whisked when it beeped, then hit the 1 minute express button again, etc.). This made just under 1 C of tasty brown beefy-tasting gravy, with no lumps, a nice silky texture, and seasoned just right (not too salty).I used about 2/3 of it over my favorite instant mashed potatoes Idahoan Buttery Golden Selects Flavored Mashed Potatoes (10 Pack) with a small steak from a local butcher, and a side of steamed fresh spinach. A quick balanced meal.Based on this, I now know that I should be able to make a little less quantity using 2 Tbsp of powder and 2/3 C hot water. At this rate, this 21-oz container should last a decent amount of time.VERY surprised at how good this is. Seriously. Highly recommended if you want decent brown gravy without the extra work.

I bought to flavor emergency food. Shelf life on gravy mixes is not as long as some things so I put it in the freeer. Hoping that keeps,it good.
