Tomato paste: pumps up depth and tang opt for a squeeze tube for easy measuring
Salt: ties all the flavors together use kosher if possible
Onions: sliced super thin almost melt into the gravy for a silky texture look for firm sweet onions
Mushrooms: earthy flavor is a must use white button or cremini and slice evenly for even cooking
Beef broth: creates the gravy base choose low sodium to control saltiness
Cornstarch: thickens the sauce at the end mix with cold water for a lump free slurry
Prepared mashed potatoes: a classic creamy base I like butter mashed from a pouch for quick meals
