Club House Gluten Free Gravy Mix

McCormick Canada is the largest spice, dry sauce and seasoning, extract and specialty food operation in Canada being around for 125 years. McCormick’s largest brand is Club House and they have a line of fine products, ones that I have used for years and years. I always have their gravy mixes in my pantry. That is why I wanted to show you this Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie using Club House Gluten Free Gravy Mix. I use their products all the time and rarely make a homemade gravy. They just taste so good, why would you bother.

Club House gravy mixes are an everyday quick fix for any meal. I especially like them for leftovers to create a delicious, fast and easy meal. But what if you need to be gluten free? Until now you couldn’t have their wonderful gravy mixes. Today that is changing. Club House has launched an entire line of gravies and baking products that are gluten free. That excites me, that I now have an option for when I need it. I have many friends that have Celiac or gluten intolerance and now I have a delicious gravy I can serve to them also.

Today starts day one of my 5 days of casseroles. I did a recent pole on Facebook and there was an overwhelming response for casseroles. It is what we crave when the cold months hit. They are satisfying and bring the family together to share a big meal.

Usually a shepherd’s pie recipe has a flour, broth base but I wanted to use gravy right from the start, so easy and now this can be gluten free too!!
