Ok, so I didn't just make gravy, I cooked some meat along with it. I have finally mastered making crockpot gravy though. This recipe is my stand by. Any kind of meat that you want gravy with will work. This time I used 4 cube steaks. I salted and peppered them for seasoning. I added 1 can of condensed cream of mushroom soup to the bottom, added my meat (with a little soup in between to prevent them from sticking together). I used a secon can of soup and mixed in a packet of onion soup mix and spread that on top of the meat. I added 1 cup of beef broth and set it on low to cook for about 4 hours.
When the meat is cooked, remove it and turn the slow cooker on high until the gravy starts to boil. To thicken it I figured approximatly 3 cups of liquid (he cans are almost 16 ounces of concentrate and then 1 cup of broth) so I added 3 TBSP of corn starch and just enough water to make a paste in a measuring cup. When the gravy started to boil I added in the cornstarch and stirred a little. It didn't take long to get thick.
I heated some water and mixed up some instant potatoes. A very yummy meal indeed!
