1 tablespoon dried parsley

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for a kick)

Instructions
 

In a medium mixing bowl, add the all-purpose flour, beef bouillon granules, onion powder, garlic powder, dried parsley, black pepper, salt, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using).

      Transfer the mixture to an airtight container or a jar for storage. This homemade brown gravy mix can be kept in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.
