This mushroom gravy is delicious on top of vegetables and steak. It also works well as the foundation for a homemade green bean casserole. Add the optional salt if using as a basis for green bean casserole.

My husband makes this and it is absolutely wonderful! He adds between 1/2 to 1 tsp ground ginger. It gives an extra kick. So good!
It is perfect if you follow the recipe. Yummy looking and is very tasty. It “sticks” to the meat. I’m proud to serve it for anybody.
Great recipe to start with as I had no idea how to make the ribs I bought taste like anything good. I didn’t have the cider vinegar or mustard powder so I used 2 tbsps honey mustard and 2 tbsps yellow mustard in place of the powder and 1 tsp rice seasoning and 1/2 tbsp white vinegar for the cider vinegar. When I tasted it I thought it was too sweet so I threw in some sriracha into the mix and that helped round out the flavors a lot. I only wish I had chopped up some garlic gloves and maybe some white pepper. But even without the garlic and white pepper this was so yummy. One of the best ribs I’ve ever had. Thank you!
I wanted to try this recipe but was missing a few ingredients. Instead of Worcestershire sauce, I used soy sauce, I didn’t have mustard powder so I changed it to a teaspoon of actual yellow mustard, and I only had white vinegar. It still turned out AMAZING! I cooked them 50 mins in my insta pot, no marinate time needed. They fell off the bone while cooking. My family loved it!
I’ve been making these ribs since 1989, when the recipe came out in Canadian Living Bbq cookbook. Lost my book, so happy to find the recipe has been copied here. I boil the ribs in half water and half oil with lots of seasonings added in. It makes them crazy tender and infuses flavour into the meat instead of sucking it out with boiling. Meat does not absorb more fat, so don’t worry about adding oil to the water.
Lengthy process, but in the end it was worth it.
Delicious! I boiled the ribs for 20 min and baked in the sauce at 300 degrees F for about 2 hours. Perfectly tender and so yummy!
I made the recipe as it it written. It was too sweet for my families taste. If you like a sweet glaze, this one is less sweet than most, and the maple syrup adds a nice touch. I used a very high grade of maple syrup. Not for my family, but it might be good for yours.
To be fair I did not have all the ingredients listed (had to substitute white vinegar for the apple cider, and bottled brown mustard for the dry). I had 6 lbs of ribs so doubled everything except for the maple syrup because of reviews saying it was too sweet. Glad I did that because withh just half the amount of both, it was still very sweet! I added a splash of bourbon as another reviewer had. Good movethanks for the hint!
replaced Worcestershire sauce with one tablespoon dried savory
(if you don’t have a BBQ) Boil ribs for one hour, marinade for 2 hours in fridge, separate ribs and sauce, put ribs in oven at 350F for about 30 minutes, cook marinade for about 5 minutes on stove and baste ribs as they are cooking in the oven
It was easy to make and very tasty. A nice alternative to a spicy BBQ sauce.
my family loved these..so happy to have found a different way to do ribs other than bbq
The ribs came out perfect and my family liked the maple syrup taste – it was different from the barbecue sauces that I normally use. I will make this recipe again.
My family loves this recipe. I’ve tried it with ribs, chicken and seafood . Awesome, one of our favorites.
My family loves these ribs. I usually marinade them overnight. Delicious!!!
Try adding 1/4 teaspoon of ground cayenne pepper to the marinade as it simmers- adds a bit of heat that is a good offset to the sweetness of the maple syrup.
This was really good. It wasn’t too and had a nice subtle taste of the maple syrup.
I put the ribs and marinade right in the slow cooker on low for 5 hrs then cover ed the ribs in brown sugar bbq sauce and finished them in the oven at 350 for 30 mins . They were at hit
Awesome sauce!! I made 3 racks of ribs for a family get together and the ribs were a hit! Instead of boiling them I baked them on 350 for 2 hours (mind you there were 3 racks). Also, I substituted half of the ketchup with Jack Daniels BBQ sauce, once I put them back in uncovered for 50 mins on 350, I coated the sauce on about every 10 minutes leaving the meat side up the whole time. Excellent!!! Will be making them again this weekend by request for another BBQ 🙂
I added liquid smoke and tabasco to my sauce and it was good but I only boiled 30 min
