BROWN GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat oil on medium high in skillet.
• When oil is hot, wisk in flour and continue to wisk until this roux gets to the color of peanut butter or a little darker. Be careful. Once it begins to brown it will darken until it is burned. If this happens, start over.
• When roux is right darkness, remove from heat and pour in broth while wisking. It will blend and become smooth. Add beef dripping now if you have it.
• Return to medium low heat and add the rest of the ingredients and stir until the flavors are blended.
• Stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming.
