Low-Fat Gravy

[Guest guest]

Okay, this was very good. I didn't use premade veggie beef broth, but used

what I had onhand in a powder form, mixed up into 2 cups of prepared broth.

It is low-sodium, but I buy it in a bulk bin at my grocery, so I am unsure if it

is

fat-free per say. I like my gravy chunky, so I didn't mince up everything too

fine. It sure tasted good on my mashed potatoes. Oh yeah, I also added a bit

of garlic powder to this recipe when I made it. (loves garlic)
