Ingredients

• up to 1 cup Meat Drippings
• 2 to 4 Tbsp. Flour all purpose
• 1 cup Water cold
• 1/2 tsp. Salt
• 1/4 tsp. Pepper ground

Directions

The meat drippings are the fat and cooked bits collected at the bottom of a roasting pan after cooking a roast beef, baked chicken, turkey, or any other meat. Just about anything will do!

Heat meat drippings to a boil on stove top.

Mix water with flour. Add to meat drippings. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Cook over medium heat until desired thickness is reached.

You can roast cloves of garlic and pieces of onion along with the meat and include them in the gravy.

If making turkey gravy, cook the giblets, mince them and add to gravy along with one boiled egg, chopped.
