Country gravy mix is essential to survival! This base can be used for so much! Add cooked sausage for sausage gravy, make the gravy with bacon grease and add cooked bacon for saw mill gravy, as any type of cheese for cheese sauce, use for a cream soup base and add cheese and broccoli for broccoli soup or potatoes for potato soup. This is nice to have on your shelf for quick breakfast, lunch or dinner!
