I love eating this over rice or mashed potatoes. Even pasta would make for a deliciously effective delivery system!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my gravy turned out too thin. I think I will cook it for a little longer next time.

The gravy was a bit too thick for my taste, but the flavor was still good. Next time I will try adding a little more milk or broth to thin it out.
