Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding minced garlic or Worcestershire sauce to the meat mixture. If you're out of flour, cornstarch can be a great substitute for thickening the gravy. Adjust the seasoning to your taste; a splash of soy sauce can enhance the umami flavor. If using lean ground meat, adding a little oil while browning can prevent sticking.
