Nate, if you’re still on here. I had to ladle the juices out and make my gravy. Mine never thickened either. Hope this helps.
GREAT Recipe. I only added more fresh garlic and I made more gravy. Served with Brussel Sprouts – mmmmmmmmmmmmmm good. TYFS
Flavors were great, everybody loved it! However, my sauce didn’t really thicken up much (if at all). When you add the cornstarch and water mixture, and remove the lid, should you turn the heat off or leave it going? I left mine on without the lid. I’m wondering if that was the problem. Also, about how long should it take at that point? Thank you, can’t wait to try it again!
