  1. I don't know if I did something wrong but the gravy was a pretty clear? It really is different from the usual gravy and you MUST use low sodium. But it was pretty easy to make
     
  2. This is exactly as the title states--super-quick, health-conscious gravy that doesn't take up space on the stove. Hooray! I agree it isn't quite the same as gravy from pan drippings, but since I made a dish without drippings tonight I was pleased to have this tasty option. I took a hint from other reviews and only used 1 1/2 bouillion cubes since mine is full-sodium, but next time I will go ahead and use two. I think it is just a matter of personal taste. Thanks for posting; you saved the day for a lady who forgot to get the gravy fixins LOL!
     
  3. This was quick, easy, tasty and went over well at my house. However, the bouillon cubes I used were VERY salty - when I make this again, I'll try to find low sodium cubes. Thanks for the posting, Kitten!
     
  4. It was easy to make, but not as flavorful as gravy from drippings. My children liked it.
