It just keeps coming....now all you Mom's want to feed your kids too...oh well, I dug through the file and found the gravy recipe...You can use it for Hamburger Gravy and Turkey Gravy too...I have used it for a soup base too so it's easy to sub in most anything...
We really should all get together and make these recipes and drink our wine and bitch about old times. The parking lot is kinda empty these days so that would be a good place to start ;0)
Well here's to all of you Roy Mom's and kids who can't seem to forget a good thing when we had it. Happy Eating!!!
St Francis School's Gravy Recipe
In large stock pot...about 12 qt at least...the bigger the better I say. Thick bottom so it doesn't burn or scorch....and it will too. Be careful ;0)
1 & 1/3 gallon of water
4 (heaping) Tbsp of Beef or Chicken Base (Costco or Cash & Carry have it)
Add seasonings:
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp pepper
1 1/2 tsp sage
Bring all above to a boil....then quickly add the following...there are 2 choices
Whimpy choice: 1 & 1/2 cup corn starch mixed with same amount of water...pour in to pot and let thicken. Turn down temp and it should thicken as it sets. I also use flour and water. Your choice
Original Rue Recipe :0)....with a large whip...(I love whips, they're so kinky!!)
1/2 lb butter - melted...then add 1 & 1/4 cup of flour (AP is fine) Stir quickly (with the whip baby) before it gets too thick and pour quickly into the pot. Keep stirring until it gets nice and thick. Turn down and let cool a bit.
Pour over your choice of meat and bake in oven.
Hamburger Gravy: We used 8 lbs of meat..browned and drained. Put into large pan, cover with foil and let bake in oven until up to temp (150 or higher). Of course we served it with Mashed potatoes...
Turkey Gravy: We usually cooked a turkey the day before. (10 to 12 lbs) Cut up nicely so the kids wouldn't choke while they made pigs of themselves. We did also have chicken chunks from time to time. It was just fine....nobody knew we lied to the little darlings...so sorry, but hey, while we slaved on the cinnamon rolls Mrs Kent just had to make it was a busy day, it was nice once in awhile to NOT cook that stupid bird. Anyway mix together as you did the beef gravy and enjoy it just the same...
Hope this makes everyone happy...I am hot and hungry now. Guess I'll have to get busy and make some of this again...I miss it and I miss all of you guys too.
Happy Eating!!!
