I’ve got a craving for a KFC Famous Bowl (don’t judge me lol). I’ve got everything for that except a good brown gravy recipe. The few I’ve found seem to look more like salad dressing than gravy.

A “famous bowl” is mashed potatoes, popcorn chicken (I’m using Beyond), brown gravy, and corn topped with shredded cheese (dairy-free in my case). It sounds gross on paper, but it’s actually quite good. Again, please don’t judge me; I crave what I crave.

A good vegetarian “gravy” is the one component I’m missing to make this happen for dinner.

Any suggestions?

    I get Edwards & Sons Not Beef Boulion for my brown gravy.

    The typical recipe is 1tbsp fat (butter, or vegan butter, or oil) 1tbsp flour, cook those together. The darker the flour the more flavor, but less thickening. Then add 1c of hot water mixed with 1 cube of the not beef. Slowly stir the water into the roux (fat flour mixture). You can thicken with your starch (mixed into a water starch slurry) of preference if needed.
