Notes

  • Please refer to my FAQ’s (Frequently Asked Questions) and ingredient list above for other substitutions or for the answers to the most common questions.
  • If you don't want any additional kick of heat, don't use the peperoncini juice, just use water.
  • Worried about this being too salty? Use low or no sodium options where possible or make your own seasonings to control the salt. Homemade Ranch Seasoning Mix and Homemade Au Jus Gravy Mix.
