What I do is take about 4 cups of the juices off and cool it. Melt 1/4 cup butter in a sauce pan and add 1/4 cup flour. Over medium heat or so. Wisk, whisk, whisk, whisk, etc until the mixture no longer tastes like flour, and it has darkened. Add the cooled juices in and keep whisking until it thickens up. When it is close to the right consistency, add any additional seasonings.

I'm looking up making roast beef this week and would like to make homemade gravy: the kind grandma made. I know I can purchase gravy packs but I would like to make it from scratch. There's something about getting in the kitchen and doing things from scratch and having it "Just right." If anyone has a good gravy recipe, thick or thin, please share. I like roast beef sandwiches with gravy [openface]. I'm thinking of throwing the roast beef in the slow cooker with chopped up onion, garlic, and a little salt and pepper to taste. Not sure if I should add potatoes right away or wait until it's almost done? Was going to do a mix of large potatoes, not sure if russets are good potatoes for mashed or what makes better potatoes for things like fries, Hashbrowns, etc. I know you can buy baking potatoes to do baked potatoes or stuffed potatoes but wasn't sure what makes a good potato for your every day mashed potato. I was also going to buy those small roast potatoes, the small o nes that are bite size. Looking forward to reading recipes and suggestions. Have a wonderful day. Oh yes, if you're one of those going back to the classroom, welcome back.
