Instant Beef Gravy Mix

This is far better than store bought packets of dry gravy mix and far less sodium.  I like to use it over hamburgers, roasts, steaks, or in a stew.  This isn't brown like most beef gravies, because I don't add food coloring to it.  If you really want it to be dark brown add a little beef paste, but watch for the salt.

Gravy Mix as is

Gravy Mix with a 1/4 teaspoon of beef paste (better than bouillon in it)
