Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of water, 6 chicken bouillon cubes, and 1 beef bouillon cube.
  2. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to ensure the bouillon cubes dissolve completely.
  3. Once dissolved, reduce the heat to a simmer and stir in the celery salt and onion powder.
  4. In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the cornstarch and the remaining 1/2 cup of water until smooth and free of lumps.
  5. Carefully pour the cornstarch slurry into the simmering bouillon mixture while stirring constantly with a whisk or spoon.
  6. Continue to cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency.
  7. Remove from heat and serve immediately over chicken, mashed potatoes, or biscuits.
