Your basic pantry items maybe not the mushrooms in some households.

Remove the stem from your mushrooms and slice into 1/4in. Pieces. Slice your onion and shallot in half and cut into 1/4in. Pieces. Smash and mince your garlic. In all actuality you can cut your vegetables anyway you prefer.

In a preheated skillet add oil and butter then your onions and shallot and cook 3-4 mins. untill slightly soft. Stirring constantly to heat evenly and avoid burning.

Then add mushrooms and continue to stir 3-4 mins. In the last 30-40 secs. Add garlic and mix throughly.

Add your flour slowly and keep stirring untill well incorporated about a minute or so.

Pour in your beef stock a cup at a time constantly stirring to avoid clumping of the flour.

Add beef bouillon and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low/med. And simmer untill reduced by half. Stirring occasionally. Basically when you use flour in soups and gravy's you want to let it simmer for at least a 1/2 hour too cook off the floury taste.

And there you go easy basic mushroom gravy. Serve with beef and or pork. Hope you enjoy. Celery and fresh thyme are great additions to the gravy.

Would of included the meatloaf but Mrs. Grass onion soup mix has it on the box. "Long week"felt a little lazy so i took the quick route on the loaf.

Have to admit the meatloaf was very good!!!

Stay safe and keep warm!!! May God bless us all....
