Now I'm gonna try the chicken and gravy. You can put gravy on cardboard and its good! Gravy is good on everything! I used to make chocolate gravy!MMMM!
I'm sitting here laughing my fool head off. I don't like white gravy but a brown gravy goes with anything. But how do you make a chocolate gravy??? That's got to be the bomb!!
BTW, here in south Louisiana, we make a brown gravy with roux OR with no flour at all. We just brown that meat slowly until we've got enough of the 'brown stuff' stuck to the pot and then we throw in our onions, bell pepper, or whatever else we want. We slowly add water or broth and let it "cook down" until we've got this awesome thick brown gravy. Yum.
