My homemade gravy only takes 5 minutes of prep work and 10 minutes on the stove top! All you need is a saucepan, a wooden spoon, and a silicone whisk.
This recipe will make roughly 6 servings, depending on how much gravy you like to serve with your meal, you can always double it!

- Boil and whisk. Bring the gravy to a boil, then remove from heat and whisk. Adjust the gravy consistency with more broth if needed then taste-test your gravy and add salt and/or pepper as needed.
- Enjoy. Serve immediately while warm.

Yes absolutely! After the gravy is cooked and cooled, place it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to four days. Reheat gravy on the stovetop to serve.
Lamb gravy would be great on any lamb meat dinner! I especially love slathering gravy on a roasted boneless leg of lamb. It would also be great on roasted lamb shanks and pan-seared lamb chops.
If you don't have a roasted lamb available to collect drippings from, you can use ¼ cup of butter instead. I would suggest adding a beef bouillon cube to add flavor if you are not collecting the natural drippings.
