The Best Boxed Beef Broth Also Happens To Be The Most Affordable
BY Elizabeth Okosun
A great store-bought beef broth can unlock tons of hearty dishes in a pinch. While there are numerous options, Target's Good & Gather Beef Broth stands out as one of the best.
Despite its low cost of $1.49 for a 32-ounce carton, its ingredients are what truly shine. Beef stock is listed as the first ingredient, lending it a genuinely meaty taste.
It's generously salted, bolstering the umaminess without becoming too briny. The taste is rounded out with onion, carrot, and celery juice concentrates for a soft earthiness.
The texture is also impressive. Its yeast extract gave it a silky, smooth mouthfeel rather than the wateriness expected of inexpensive broths.
The product has a 4.8-star rating on Target's website, with reviewers mentioning that they love using it in everything from pot roast to beef stroganoff.
