How to Make Truck Stop Gravy

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until smooth.
  3. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is lightly browned (this creates a roux).
  4. Gradually whisk in 2 cups beef broth and 1/2 cup water, ensuring no lumps form.
  5. Continue to cook and stir until the gravy thickens, about 5-10 minutes.
  6. Stir in 1 (10.75 ounce) can of condensed cream of mushroom soup until completely blended and smooth.
  7. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
  8. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Consider adding other seasonings like garlic powder or onion powder for extra depth of flavor.
