Reheating Instructions
This gravy can be made up to 3 days in advance. To reheat, place in a small saucepan and simmer on low until heated through. You may have to add a touch of beef stock to thin the gravy out some.
Freezing Instructions
Another great bonus of this gravy is that you can freeze the gravy in ½ cup measurements. Just place ½ cup of gravy in a freezer-safe bag. When you need some gravy, just pull out a bag at a time for a self-serve portion.
