Make this easy beef gravy from your roast beef drippings, or with canned beef broth. Either way, it’s delicious for your meat and mashed potato dishes. Plus, it’s quick to make.

Homemade gravy is a nice alternative to anything that comes in a packet because it’s made with all natural ingredients.

Beef Gravy Ingredients

Roast beef drippings. There is nothing like the fresh drippings from a roast beef to make a gravy. But, if you’re not cooking a roast, a can of beef broth will work too. And if you’re doing a different kind of meat, like turkey or chicken, this gravy works with those drippings too!

Flour. The flour is used as a thickening agent. I use whole wheat, but white flour or another thickening agent, such as cornstarch, can be used as well.

Water. I like to add water because it helps for the gravy to remain darker. But you can also add milk.

Heavy cream. To give it a rich creamy taste, I like to add some heavy cream. The cream really lightens the gravy, but the choice is yours, as you can just as easily omit it.
