Tips & Tricks (5)

Gravy Consistency Mastery 🥄
Whisk flour into melted butter slowly to create a smooth roux, preventing lumps in your gravy and ensuring a silky texture.
Frozen Meatball Hack 🧊
Do not thaw frozen meatballs before cooking - add them directly to the gravy to prevent breaking and maintain their shape.
Flavor Layering Technique 🧅
Caramelize onions separately before adding to the gravy to create a deeper, more complex flavor profile for your meatball dish.
Broth Depth Trick 🥣
Use low-sodium beef broth and reduce it slightly before making the gravy to concentrate the rich, meaty flavors.
Creamy Gravy Secret 🥛
Finish your gravy with a splash of milk or cream at the end to add richness and smooth out the texture.
