Most of us remember the gravies from our grandmothers’ tables. Somehow gravy just isn’t the same anymore.\u00a0 Everywhere you go you see “gravy mixes”, which leave a lot to be desired when it comes to taste. This is sad\u00a0 because homemade gravy is one of the most frugal recipes you can find, and even though it is very cheap, it\u00a0 generally tastes better than the most expensive mix in the supermarket. Gravy over toast makes a frugal but filling\u00a0 breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Leftover gravy can be combined with cooked pasta and vegetables, or hamburger and pasta for your own homemade “hamburger helper” (which is all that hamburger helper is – pasta and gravy).
