Notes
The best way to store SOS Hamburger Gravy leftovers depends on how soon you plan to eat it:
Short-Term Storage (1–3 days)
- Refrigerator: Transfer the gravy to an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: Warm it on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally. If it thickens too much, add a splash of milk or broth to bring back the creamy consistency. You can also microwave it in 30-second intervals, stirring in between.
Long-Term Storage (Up to 3 months)
- Freezing: Let the gravy cool completely, then store it in a freezer-safe container or
- Thawing & Reheating:
- Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
- Heat on the stovetop over medium-low heat, stirring frequently and adding a little milk or broth if needed.
