💬 Reviews (Meatloaf, some leftover soup & Pammy's Awesome gravy recipe equals one fine tasting dinner. I had about 3/4 cup of mushroom soup in the fridge so I scaled down your recipe. It was so easy with great flavor. Thanks Chef#166103 for a neat shortcut for a quick gravy)

when i became a vegan i had to give up all of my favourite pastas, so when i came upon this recipe i was pleasantly surprised. it tastes pretty good! i just want to say that all the amounts i give here are approximate, i never follow the recipe exactly. you might want to add less salt or lemon, and add more peas or olive oil. :) and don't be intimidated by all of the steps, it's actually fairly quick and easy to make!
💬 Reviews (We had guests for dinner and I made this to go with turkey meatloaf. This really tasted like great gravy and not just mushroom soup! I was surprised that it didn't taste too salty, either, since I usually find that with the canned soups (used regular beef broth and Healthy Choice Mushroom soup). This made our dinner really special. I am already thinking turkey broth to make a turkey gravy, too. Thanks Packer Backer Pammy.)

from country fair food and crafts and one of my christmas gift basket recipes
