    🥘 Pork Gravy Ingredients

    You only need a handful of simple ingredients for this gravy. If you don't have pork drippings, check out my chicken gravy without drippings post for instructions on making it without!

    • Pork Drippings - ¼ cup drippings from a pork roast (*see note).
    • Chicken Broth - 1 cup of chicken broth (*see note).
    • Salt & Pepper - Each to taste.
    • Water- ¼ cup of cool water.
    • Cornstarch - 3 tablespoons of cornstarch.

    *Be sure to see the free printable recipe card below for ingredients, exact amounts & instructions with tips!*

    🔪 How To Make Pork Gravy

    With just 5 minutes of prep and 10 minutes on the stove top, you will have gravy in no time! All you need is a saucepan, a wooden spoon, and a whisk.

    This recipe makes roughly 6 servings, but if your family really loves gravy you can always double it!

    1. Scrape the fond. Scrape all the fond (brown bits) from the bottom of the roasting pan and pour ¼ cup of pork drippings into a medium saucepan.
    2. Boil. Add 1 cup of chicken broth to the drippings in your saucepan and bring to a boil.
    3. Simmer. Reduce heat and simmer for 4-5 minutes, or until it reaches your desired flavor. Test the gravy and salt and pepper it to taste.
    4. Whisk in slurry. In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of cool water and 3 tablespoons of cornstarch to make a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into your gravy until it reaches your desired consistency.
    5. Enjoy. Serve immediately while warm.

    I use the drippings from my pork roast to make the gravy. Then I slice the roast and spoon the gravy over the top! Enjoy!

    💭 Tips & Notes

    • To give your gravy a stronger flavor, use a bouillon base or cubes to make the chicken broth.
    • You can get Better Than Bouillon pork base to make this recipe without the pork drippings. Use butter to add some fatty richness.
    • To store: Once the gravy has cooled, it can be placed in an airtight jar or container and refrigerated for up to 4 days. If properly stored in a sealed airtight container or freezer bag, pork gravy can be frozen for up to 3 months.
    • To reheat: Reheat leftover gravy in a saucepan on the stove top over medium heat for 10-15 minutes (or until warmed to your satisfaction).

    ❓ How Do I Make Pork Gravy Without Drippings?

    Try using Better Than Bouillon pork base in place of the drippings. It has all the incredibly, condensed flavor you would get from pork drippings and then some!

    ❓ Can I Make Pork Gravy Without Flour?

    You can! This recipe calls for cornstarch instead of flour. If that doesn't suit you either, you can try swapping it for an easy cornstarch substitute!

    ❓ What Should I Serve With Pork Gravy?

    I love serving a pork shoulder roast slathered in gravy. However, you serve pork gravy with any of your favorite pork recipes. It would be delicious on a roasted rack of pork, pork steaks, and more!

      I ised this recipe with pan-fried cookoff, so I skipped using the chicken broth, since there was no fond to re-dissolve. Since it was my first time using cornstarch, I had trouble ending up with the right consistency, (I kept adding more liquid) ; however it came out quite tasty!
