Homemade Browning Sauce Food

BROWNING SAUCE (SUBSTITUTE FOR KITCHEN BOUQUET OR GRAVY MASTER)

Steps:

• Be careful while preparing this as it may sputter.
• Add the sugar to a saucepan and heat on a low or medium-low heat until browned, about 5-10 minutes. When the mixture starts to get dark, take it off the heat and carefully add the water (this may sputter and you don't want to get burned).
• Add the beef soup base and put back on a low heat, stirring until the water is all mixed inches
• Cool and store in a disposable container.
• Use a spoonful or two when making gravies, stews, sauces, meatloavs, meatballs, etc.

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly. Stir in pepper. Serve with beef or pork.
