Who knew this Lipton onion gravy mix would double as an excellent brown gravy for a weeknight roast chicken or holiday feast. My mom and uncle taught me this trick and I haven’t been the same since. Start this gravy by browning garlic in butter, then add flour to make a roux. Cook the rawness out of the flour before whisking in the broth slowly. Finish the gravy up with the Lipton packet, Worcestershire sauce, and poultry seasoning. Bring it up to a boil and thicken to the desired consistency. This is such an easy gravy to make without any pan drippings and in a pinch. You will LOVE this.

My uncle used to make this gravy every year for Thanksgiving and he thickens his gravy up with cornstarch and water. I love how simple his recipe, but it needs some extra flavor. Time to bust out the flavor enhancers.

A warm buttery gravy that tastes so homemade it will trick everyone. The french onion flavor is jam packed with sweet umami and something you couldn’t get in a traditional gravy. It’s a value recipe and tastes like five stars.

Make this gravy ahead to rid yourself of any anxiety of preparing this the day of. Warm this up in a pot and dinner will be hot and ready in no time.
