Quick Brown Sauce

Quick Brown Sauce is an essential in my household. I found this sauce recipe years ago and have been using it since with no complaints. Its very easy and quick to prepare and ready in only 15 minutes. I like to play with the recipe and have added red chillies or a shot of tabasco or Worcestershire Sauce.

Quick Brown Sauce

Serve with meats or other dishes or use as base for Bordelaise sauce.
