Grandma's Secret Trick

Grandma always served her Sauerbraten with buttered noodles, boiled potatoes or spaetzle. As a result, we often ran out of the delicious spiced beef gravy. So Grandma started doubling the amounts of water, vinegar, seasonings and gingersnaps to make sure there was plenty of gravy to go around for second helpings.
