Ingredients

1/2 cup butter

1/2 cup all purpose flour

2 1/2 cups beef stock good quality

1 1/2 cups chicken stock good quality

2 tablespoons ketchup

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

1/2 teaspoon ground pepper more to taste

1/4 teaspoon salt


Directions

1. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Sprinkle the flour over the butter and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture turns golden brown, about 8 minutes. 2. Pour the beef stock, the chicken stock, and the rest of the ingredients into the flour mixture, whisking to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, whisking frequently. Reduce the heat and simmer the gravy until it thickens and reduces slightly, about 15 minutes. 3. Taste for seasoning, adding more salt and pepper, if needed.

This is a good quick gravy, I used it to make Salisbury steak and mashed potatoes.

Great basic brown gravy. Never using a packet again. I use it for meatloaf and mashed potatoes as well as when I make a big German feast!!

My husband and I hardly ever make anything calling for gravy, but shepards pie was requested and this gravy was the best! I now use this for pot roast too (but we're weird and use lamb)
