Morrison’s Family Dining M-2 Sauce
Hello Dennis
I have the recipe for Morrison's "M-1" sauce as part of the Macaroni & Cheese recipe here:
10-12-2009
However, I cannot find any mention of, and have never heard of, an "M-2" sauce in any of their recipes.
Where did you hear of it?

Thank You for the fast response!!

Hello Dennis,
So your copy of the Morrison's Kitchen Manual does not have the recipe for "M-2" or for "Brown Gravy"?
I have a partial copy of an older Morrison's Kitchen Manual (probably pre-170). It does not have a recipe for "M-2" or for "Brown Gravy" or for "Onion Gravy" and no "Chuck-Wagon Steak" recipe at all.
My "go-to" for Morrison's recipes is an online acquaintance who was a former Morrison's Cafeteria manager and who has his copy of the Kitchen Manual from before Morrison's was sold. In a previous response, he said that the gravy that was served with the "Chuck-Wagon Steak" was the "mushroom gravy" with the mushrooms replaced by onions.
I do have the Morrison's mushroom gravy/sauce recipe in my files. So according to the information that I have, if you follow the below recipe from my manual and substitute onions for the mushrooms, you should have the "M-2" onion sauce.
