Gravy can be made from the left-over drippings from your meal, or you can make it entirely from scratch. I will teach you how to make it totally from scratch.

How long can you keep brown gravy in the refrigerator?

I keep my gravy in the refrigerator for about 3 to 4 days. I've heard of others storing it in the freezer for about 3 to 4 months, and it is just as yummy. I have never tried this out, though. Maybe someday I will test that technique.

Yes, you can substitute the beef broth with bouillon cubes, vegetable or chicken broth, and even milk, just to name a few.

What can you add to brown gravy to give it more flavor?

You can add several ingredients to your gravy to spice it up. For instance, you can add in chopped mushrooms, onions, parsley, peppers, and garlic. You name it! Pretty much any ingredients you like can go into gravy. Because gravy is so versatile, it is near and dear to my family’s heart!!
