Chili Gravy

1 1/2 Tbsp. butter or beef drippings
2 Tbsp. flour
1 c. cold water
Salt, if needed
2 to 3 c. meat, cubed or ground
1 clove garlic, chopped or crushed
1 Tbsp. 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 min., then serve over fresh hot biscuits.

You may also serve this over mashed potatoes or rice and with enchiladas and tamales.
