I love onions. And this whole damn time there was an onion gravy? Thank god for the Brit’s. Made my morning with something so simple.

[@ECCENTRICERIC69]

It is normally used for the British classic 'bangers and mash' as below or with steak/minced beef pie and mash. kzbin.infoaIdXm5uv1DM?si=4bLFG_astWcZKhpG

[@terrencecollins8020]

We use it in the southern United States all the time

[@chuchulainn9275]

I feel the same as you. I knew of bangers and mash but I had no idea about the gravy. 😅

[@neilanthonyhaywardlewis8978]

Oh, liver and onions, gravy.......a school classic too...😊

[@BackyardChef]

So good! On the list. Best, Rik

OK - did this for bangers and mash and have to say it turned out absolutely perfect. So simple, yet effective.

I like this guy - very human and unpretentious. I agree with slicing the onions along the grain.

Oh yes thank you !, I just made this for my sausage and mash ..Delicious, I’m 85 and have recently had to do my own catering sadly,but that really was the bee’s knee’s.

I made a French onion beef and pasta casserole but the pasta sucked up a lot of the moisture so I made your onion gravy and put a ladle over each piece of the casserole to serve and it was delicious! Thank you for the recipe 😊

[@BackyardChef]

Sounds good! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@richardnoggen1674]

Thank you!! this is great! in mine I added a splash of red wine...In my house gravy is considered a beverage! l

I made onion gravy tonight to put over brown rice and meatloaf. Turned out well; used a bouillon cube and a bit of corn starch to thicken. Looked very like.

[@australiafirst520]

I cook this up frequently. I put a drizzle Apple Cider Vinegar in and it really brings it On, Fantastic on Steak and Sausages.

Beef liver and onion gravy tonight for tea, with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. Asked the butcher for lamb liver but he gave us beef, so that will be a first for me since I was a kid.

[@BackyardChef]

Lovely! Thank you. Best, Rik

I've been wanting to make Toad In a Hole with onion gravy and I think this is the ticket.

I love homemade gravey so much i dont buy stuff like bisto. For a really nice dark gravey i use the water from cooked red cabage.

[@MoiraHowells]

Hi rik i love onion gravy but haven't attempted to make it myself. I found the ingredients but couldn't find how to cook it. I do apologise if it's there somewhere and i just can't see it. That looked absolutely delicious. Nice and thick just how a gravy should be.

[@BackyardChef]

Agreed! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@BackyardChef]

Cheers Randy appreciate the feedback. Best, Rik

[@hippeastrum]

People are pulling your leg about you saying that onion gravy needs onions, but I don't think a lot of people realise there is so much processed stuff in bought gravy packets or some of the awful "gravy" served with meals. Keep up the good work.

[@BackyardChef]

They can pull away - most folks cant cook who comment - most gravies if you eat out have a minimal amount of onion - ridiculous! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@MichaelOConnor-z8x]

Brilliant gravey best I have ever had

Thanks Michael. Best, Rik

[@olivercromwell3575]

Good recipe. I nearly got unreasonably angry when you added the oil and shouted inside my head- where is the butter? But you saved the day. Nearly the same as my method but I add a bit of red wine, no sugar and caramelise the onions for half an hour to an hour. The only reason I add the red wine is so I can drink a glass while I stir the onions. We have either one glass or two glass onion gravy in our house.

[@BackyardChef]

Sounds like a great plan Oliver - Red wine here in Thailand is expensive for a decent one - there are some very cheap (Balsamic vinegar tasting) ones. I'm glad you make a good gravy - there is nothing better than a real gravy complimenting your meal. best, Rik

[@royb7481]

Thank you very much that is an outstanding gravy

This gravy looks great, I wish I could have a taste or at least smell it. I'm a bloke who enjoys cooking so I enjoyed watching this: no extraneous BS glorifying yourself, just simple and straight to the point. I've got some snags in the fridge: when I cook them with mashed potatoes and pees you can guess what kind off sauce will accompany them. Champion!

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

That's the way I have done it, and it turned out fantastic thanks for posting

OK, so..... I watched this video last night before I cooked my meatloaf, While my meatloaf was in the oven, I made this recipe of onion gravy for my mashed taters and meatloaf. I will NOT use a packet again!!!..... I had to come back again today to tell EVERYONE that this is the BEST gravy EVER!!!! It turned out SOOOO good!!!!! And that's even saying and knowing that there's a LOT of great gravy packets out there, BUT, there's not one THIS good!!!!!!

Being sarcastic? Oh, sure, because that's always the best way to make progress and win friends. Who needs clarity and understanding when you can just be witty? How many gravies have you had, and they are water - Put the onions in - onion gravy. Best, Rik

[@BackyardChef]

Sorry ha ha ha. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@TheRattyBiker]

Personally - I cover them for the first 5/10 mins so they steam first so they get soft, then whip the lid off for another 5 mins so they caramelise up nicely instead of burning.
