Ham Gravy and Ham for Dinner

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: cornstarch

Whole wheat flour adds fiber while cornstarch thickens without gluten.

chicken broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water with bouillon

Vegetable broth is lower in calories, and bouillon is a cost-effective alternative.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk reduces calories, while water can be used for a lighter gravy.

Add 2 tablespoons of butter to a saucepan.

Add 2 tablespoons of flour to the saucepan.

Melt the butter and flour together in the saucepan.

Whisk the mixture until it reaches a nice color.

Add ham stock to the mixture and stir well to combine.

Continue stirring until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens into gravy.

Add black pepper to taste, but do not add salt as the ham is salty.

Turn off the heat when the gravy is ready.
