Recipe Mike's Savory Southern Onion Mushroom Gravy

Ingredients :

• 2 (32 oz) boxes Beef Stock [with sodium - you'll use about 1 1/2 boxes]
• 1 Medium Purple Onion [rough chop]
• 2 LG White Onions [rough chop]
• 5 Cups Mushrooms [your choice - stems removed]
• 1 box (2 oz) Lipton Onion Soup Mix [reserve 1 packet to be added later]
• 3 tsp Cracked Black Pepper
• 1/2 Cup Red Wine [white works as well]
• 1 tsp Dried Thyme
• 1 Cube Salted Butter
• 3 tablespoons Corn Starch [1 1/2 tbsp water - added last]]
• 1 tsp Granulated Onion [added last]
• 2 tsp Granulated Garlic [added last]
• 3 tsp Kitchen Bouquet [added last]
• 1 tbsp Worshestershire Sauce [added last]

Method :

1. Chop your onions and garlic and add it to your large pot. Add everything to it except for your broth, 1 Packet of Lipton Onion Soup Mix or anything that says, "added last."
2. Simmer mixture for about 10 minutes covered. Or, until onions are translucent. Stir regularly.
3. Add small splashes of beef stock if you feel your onions and garlic are on the verge of burning.
4. Gently wipe your mushrooms with a damp towel.
5. Chop your mushrooms and add to your pot.
6. Add beef stock until your mushrooms are fully submerged.
7. Once simmering - add your 2nd packet of Lipton Onion Soup Mix. Mix well.
8. Simmer for 20 to 30 minutes depending upon how firm you prefer your mushrooms - covered. Stir regularly.
9. Add additional beef stock as needed.
10. Here"s what your gravy will look like after 30 minutes.
11. Since spices and herbs can lose flavor during long simmer times - add your granulated garlic, granulated onion, Worcestershire and Kitchen Bouquet at this point. Stir well.
12. Your gravy will change color and become darker.
13. Now, mix your corn starch and water in a small bowl well until it"s a smooth liquid.
14. Bring your gravy up to a steady boil and add 1/2 of your corn starch slurry mixture.
15. Mix well, constantly and fast.
16. Allow gravy to simmer for a minute. You"ll see your gravy begin to thicken.
17. Decide how thick you"d like your gravy. Thicker? Add the other half of your slurry.
18. If you find it"s too thick - no worries - just add a bit more beef stock and mix well.
19. Pour this delicious gravy over everything from mashed potatoes, bangers [= sausages] to the side of french fries or, over a poutine with cheese curds, noodles, rice, open faced meat sandwiches, steaks or hamburger steaks.
20. Enjoy!
