Notes
Ensure you are constantly stirring or whisking your gravy as it's cooking. This helps break down the cream cheese and achieve a smooth consistency. It also helps prevent anything from burning, like butter or cream cheese, as both ingredients have a low melting point and can curdle quickly.
Taste your gravy as you go and adjust the seasoning accordingly. You might need to add more salt or other seasonings to balance the flavors.
Enhance the flavor by adding ingredients like sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, or crumbled cooked bacon. These additions can elevate the taste of your cream cheese gravy.
If your gravy turns out thicker than desired, you can always thin it with more liquid. Add small amounts at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
