Mix in the green onion, and remove the meat and veggies from the skillet and allow to cool. (Do not wash the skillet.)
When the meat and vegetables are cool, prepare the gravy.

To warm gravy: Place gravy into a microwave-safe dish. Add a small amount of milk in order to make the gravy more flexible. Then cook for 45 seconds and stirring between each, until the gravy is warm. You can also cook it on medium-high heat on the stovetop, diluted with a tiny amount of milk.
