Lipton French Onion Gravy
An easy brown gravy that needs no drippings and can be made ahead of time.
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.
