  • 3 tablespoons instant beef bouillon granules
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground sage

Notes

Melt 2 tablespoons butter or margarine in a saucepan. Add 1/2 cup gravy mix and 1 cup water. Whisk over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes, until smooth and thick. Optional: 1 teaspoon Kitchen Bouquet for darker gravy.
Regular flour can replace instant flour but needs more whisking to prevent lumps.
