    Just made this gravy and it is superbly divine! I used onion powder instead of chopped onions to make it faster and added a little bit of whipping cream. I can’t believe how easy this was. Thanks for sharing.

    I’ll have to try it this way. In the past I’ve always made a roux first with the butter and flour and browned it before adding beef broth. But this looks much less time consuming.

    I was wondering if I can use beef broth instead of the bullion? I’m allergic to msg. If so how much broth would I use? Thank you

    Loved it! I only had bouillon cubes so I guessed and used 2, also used the onion powder instead of chopped onion out of convenience. Turned out AMAZING!!!
