Can anyone give me a really simple and easy to make recipe for gravy.
I am not much of a cook, but my son just loves the gravy with his mashed potatoes!
Thanks.

Gravy is usually made with chicken or beef stock and can 15-20 minutes to make. Are this things found in your kitchen? If not, you can always buy Bisto Gravy Granules.

Fry your bangers in a shallow baking dish of some kind ontop of your stove. When the bangers and golden, take them out, and you should be left with some nice fat, and sticky stuff at the bottom of the pan. Turn up the heat, and take a fork and scrape all the sticky goodness from the bottom of the pan and add your stock. once everything is bubbling away, add a tsp. of starch to a little but of water in a cup, and gradually add in, always stirring so not to create lumps. Simmer unti you get the thickness you want. I just like using bisto instead of starch, but that's me. Bisto gives it a more "beefy" flavour.

Or you can also fry some bacon and use the drippings. Same procedure as stated by funcqkw. Use cold water to dissolve starch and best to use a wire whisk to dissolve even small lumps. I add some Knorr seasoning and a bit of cream at the end

Check whether this is stocked in the supermart- "McCormick Brown Gravy Mix " which is instant and easy to make.

Browned Onion and Madeira Gravy (nigel Slater) just yummy!
a very thick slice of butter
2 large onions, peeled and thinly sliced
flour, no more than a level tablespoon
1/3 cup Madeira, Marsala or red wine
1¼ cups stock
Worcestershire sauce
Melt the butter in a heavy based pan, add the onions and cook over a low heat till golden and soft. Now continue cooking, covered with a lid, until the onions are truly brown and soft enough to crush between your fingers.
Stir in a level heaped tablespoon of flour and cook for a few minutes until it has lightly browned, then pour in the liquids. Season with salt and pepper and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat so that the gravy bubbles gently and leave for about fifteen minutes, stirring from time to time.
