Viewer Susan shares a stunning secret on today’s episode – she loves to prepare roasts for her family, but she cheats and serves canned gravy, telling her family it’s homemade!

To make your own gravy, start with a roux that combines equal parts butter and flour, and add your pan drippings. Once that is all whisked up and bubbly, add a couple cups of stock.

Tip: If you didn’t have a lot of pan drippings leftover from your roast, add a couple teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce for a deeper color and flavor. For poultry gravies, add a little poultry seasoning for even more depth of flavor.

That’s it! And it’s almost as easy as dumping gravy out of a jar.
