Granny's
Biscuit Chili Gravy
1 1/2 tablespoons butter or beef drippings
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup cold water
Salt, if needed
2 to 3 cups meat, cubed or ground
1 clove garlic, chopped or crushed
1 tablespoon red chili powder
Hot biscuits
Melt butter or drippings in a cast iron frying pan. Add flour and stir until
rich brown. Slowly stir in cold water and continue to stir as it cooks so it
won't get lumpy. Taste and add salt, if needed.
Brown meat with garlic and chili powder in a skillet, then add to the gravy,
which should be bubbling. Simmer a few minutes, then serve over fresh hot
biscuits.
You may also serve this over mashed potatoes or rice and with enchiladas and
tamales.
If you smile when no one else is around, you really mean it.
