Your Step-by-Step Guide to Mastering the Knorr Gravy Recipe :
Quick Overview
Everything about this Knorr gravy recipe is easy and quick.

Since you have all these rich flavors in a creamy texture but so little prep, it makes you feel like you are quite the culinary genius-even though you spent 10 minutes with prep.

Key Ingredients for Knorr Gravy:


- One packet of Knorr Gravy Mix (your choice of flavor; I personally love Roasted Chicken or Beef flavor)
- Two tablespoons of butter (or a variety of substitutes—margarine is acceptable, and olive oil would be a great vegan option.)
- Cold water—1 cup.
Step-by-Step Instructions:


- Melt the butter (or substitute) in a small sauce pan on medium heat. Do not allow it to brown or burn; we just want a light melt, enough to build the base for our gravy.
- Whisk in the Knorr Gravy Mix. Keep stirring for about a minute until its mixture is fully incorporated with the melted butter and has obtained a smooth, lump-free paste. This step is very important for your final gravy in preventing lumps.
- Add cold water gradually while whisking to ensure no lumps remain. The current of cold water is very important because it prevents clumping of the gravy. Finally, keep whisking as you pour slowly for an even consistency.
- Heat the mix gently till it reaches a simmer, giving it a good stir from time to time. Simmering is just before boiling, where small bubbles form and break the surface gently. This gentle cooking will allow the gravy to thicken and flavors to meld nicely.
- Let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes or until the gravy is of preferred consistency. If you prefer a thicker gravy, let it simmer for a bit longer. Should it thicken too much, dilute with a tablespoon or two of cold water.
Perfect Pairings: What to Serve with Your Knorr Gravy Recipe :
This Knorr gravy recipe is considered by far to be the most versatile in and among other gravies. This can go with a most perfect variety of items to elevate ordinary meals into something very special. Here is a list with a few ideas to inspire your creativity while serving:
- Roasted meats: Pairing at its classics! Roasted chicken, turkey, beef – even a vegetarian roast – goes alongside this gravy with an addition of moisture and richness, tantalizing meat flavor attuned to personality.
- Mashed Potatoes: Efface any iconic pair? Twelve-cities creamed-up mashed with mouthwatering gravy.
- Biscuits or bread: Either halved warming, fluffy biscuits or a slice of crusty bread that should soak up every last drop of that delicious gravy.
- Vegetables: Drizzle it over steamed or roasted broccoli, cauliflower, or green beans to give them an extra flavor and some moisture.
- Poutine: Does it get any better than Poutine? Bring it on home with your Knorr gravy. It’s that Canadian touch.
Chef’s Secrets: 5 Tips to Perfect Your Knorr Gravy Recipe :
Cold Water is indispensable: Cold water is needed to ensure that there aren’t any lumps in the silky smooth gravy. Never ever let hot or warm water do the work because it somehow splurges the gravy consistency.
They’re not gonna stop whisking: Always whisk, preferably while combining the gravy with melted butter, and water; at initial stages, it is a strong reed against growing lumps. Whisk like you mean it!
Thickness can easily be changed to taste. Everyone knows gravy is a matter of personal preference. For those who like it thicker, simmer for a little while longer. When it is too thick, put in one or two tablespoons of cold water.
Give it your flavor: You can make this Knorr gravy recipe as is, but you could always add a little touch of personal taste. Add a dash of dried herbs like thyme or rosemary for a not overpowering earthy flavor. Add richness and depth of flavor by adding a drop of cream or milk.
Not to overcook: Yes, overcooking is that risk whereby the gravy becomes thick, even burned probably. There’s just one close lookout: remove it from the heating element once it’s thick enough for your liking.
Keep It Tasty: How to Store and Reheat Knorr Gravy Like a Pro :
Storing Leftovers: Once your gravy has cooled completely—patience is key here—transfer it into an airtight container and tuck it away in the fridge, where it will stay fresh for up to three days. If you’re a stickler for food safety, the USDA FSIS website is your best friend for detailed guidelines.
Reheating: When it’s time to bring your gravy back to life, opt for a gentle approach. A saucepan over low heat works best, coaxing it back to warmth while stirring occasionally. If it thickens too much, a splash of water or broth will restore its silky consistency. The microwave is a faster option—just heat in short bursts, stirring between each round, until it’s perfectly warmed through.
Freezing for Later: Yes, you can freeze gravy, but be prepared for a slight textural shift upon thawing. If you go this route, store it in a freezer-safe container, where it can hibernate for up to three months. When you’re ready to revive it, let it thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating gently, following the same slow-and-steady method as above.
Knorr Gravy FAQs: Your Top Questions, Answered!

The main liquid ingredient in this Knorr gravy recipe is water; you may try using broth for a richer flavor impact, but really should not be milk-based gravy, as that tends to be a texture-altering liquid.

Definitely! This gravy can be prepared beforehand and refrigerated. Just reheat gently with a little water or broth, if necessary, to thin it out a bit.
