Notes

For a thicker gravy, you can add a bit of cornstarch mixed with water during the last hour of cooking. Experiment with adding vegetables such as mushrooms or peas for extra flavor and nutrition. If you want a little kick, try adding some black pepper or garlic powder. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
