What is the best way to thicken the gravy?
The mushroom gravy will thicken as it bakes. If you would like it even thicker, you can combine 1/3 cup of cornstarch and 1/3 cup of cold water together. Once mixed, slowly drizzle the mixture into the gravy. Stir and let heat for a few minutes. If you want it thicker, repeat the process.
