A well-made, tasty gravy can save a multitude of meal sins. Have the kids preoccupied you, so your turkey is a tad overcooked? Got caught on the phone with your bestie for an hour as she regales her most recent crisis? Now your roast lamb is well and truly roasted!

This simple gravy recipe will bring that otherwise tragic meal back to life.

Food Cupboard Staples Is All It Takes

A few simple ingredients are all you need:

5 tablespoons butter

Cracked black pepper

4 tablespoons flour

1 quart stock-in-a-box, turkey or chicken

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 to 2 cups pan drippings

Good Gravy – That’s Easy!

Melt the butter in a pan over a medium heat, whisk in your pepper before adding the flour. Allow that to simmer for a couple of minutes before adding the stock and Worcestershire sauce. Increase the heat slightly to thicken the gravy, stirring gently as you go. When you’ve reached the ideal thick consistency, remove from the heat, cover and save for later.

When ready to serve, heat your gravy in a pan with the turkey, beef, lamb, pork or duck drippings to create a mouth-watering accompaniment to your meal.

Be it a meal champion or meal savior– savour every bite.

Create this favorite cheesy casserole with layers of chicken, tortillas, beans and enchilada sauce for your next dinner. The recipe takes 25 minutes to prepare, an hour and a half to cook, and serves eight people. Each serving is 480 calories.

2 cups chicken cooked and diced

3 cups shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese blend

1 can (4.5 oz) chopped green chiles, undrained

  2. Using a medium bowl, mix the chicken, 1 and 1/2 cups of the cheese, the chiles, and sour cream.
  3. Layer three tortillas in baking dish, overlapping as necessary and placing slightly up sides of dish (you may want to cut the third tortilla in half to fit).
  4. Spread half of the beans over the tortillas and top with half of the chicken mixture and half of the enchilada sauce.
  5. Layer with three more tortillas and remaining beans and chicken mixture.
  6. Top the dish with the remaining two tortillas. You can overlap them slightly, but do not place up the sides of dish.
