Recipe by Chef_irish: Basic All American Brown Gravy
This recipe is already in the reviews profile but had no link.
Added onion and 'shrooms to it this time. One small onion and 8 oz 'shrooms sauteed in 1/4 c butter with a pinch of salt added to each as they go into the pan.

I like her "cooked pie crust" analogy. That's very helpful. I'm not much into gravy on my food, but this looks like an easy one.

And it does smell like pie crust! Also look for a peanut butter color in the roux. The whole idea is to get rid of the raw flour taste. It works like blooming the flavors in spices by sauteing them in a dry pot until fragrant, or browning rice before cooking. A dark brown color is not good. Then the roux is too cooked and will not thicken into a gravy.

This has a showy flavor. Great over biscuits.

Looks like you have found your "go to" gravy recipe. I'll be watching your comments. ;-P

Thought I had used a brown gravy over some meatballs once upon a time. Also posted a pic. Was looking for that recipe when I stumbled upon Chef_Irish's recipe and that was close enough. It's not really a "go to" recipe but it is very good.
