Mike's Savory Southern Onion Mushroom Gravy Mike's Savory Southern Onion Mushroom Gravy

Slather this delicious Southern gravy over everything from mashed potatoes, bangers [sausages] and/or to the side of french fries in a separate bowl. Or, directly over a poutine with cheese curds, noodles of any kind, rice, open faced beef or turkey sandwiches, steaks or hamburger steaks. So ya, pretty much anything other than flip flops and cupcakes. 😉Be sure to use Viadailla Onions for their sweetness to combat some of the sodium in this dish. Or, simply employ a low sodium broth to help cut it out by half. All I know is that we DO love our salt down here in the South so, taste test and go from there! 😆
