Make a rich white bean gravy with canned beans. I prefer cannellini beans for this gravy recipe, but most white beans will do the trick. When eating a low-fat diet, two of the things I miss most are biscuits and gravy, but there are healthy alternatives for these cravings, and a white bean gravy is super satisfying if you season it up just right.

How to Make White Bean Gravy
- Heat about 1 Tbsp of oil in a pot on medium heat.
- When the skillet is hot, add chopped onion and saute for 2 minutes.
- Add garlic and hot pepper and all seasoning and continue cooking for 2 minutes more.
- Stir in flour.
- Add canned beans and about half a can of broth. Stir, and bring the skillet up to a simmer, then cover and let simmer for 10 minutes.
- Using a hand blender, blend the pot contents into a smooth gravy. Be careful of hot bean splatter! Check current prices for Hand Blenders on Amazon.
- If needed, reduce the gravy farther on the stove, or add more broth or water if desired.
- Use this bean gravy just like you would your favorite fat and flour gravy! And garnish with fresh green herbs or green onion for a picture perfect meal.
