Creamy Chipped Beef Gravy
- 1 cup left over, home made corned beef, finely shredded
- 3 tablespoons bacon grease
- 1/3 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup half and half
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoons or more of fresh ground black pepper
- sea salt and failing that sea water
- Place a 1 1/2 quart sauce pan over medium heat and add the bacon grease. When it is hot add the corned beef and fry the beef until it gets brown.
- Add the flour and stir. Cook the flour until it is nutty smelling. This is important otherwise the flour will taste pasty in the finished gravy.
- Add the milk, half and half and the pepper. Stir and keep stirring until the gravy comes to a boil and thickens. Cook about five more minutes over low heat, taste and season accordingly. If it seems to thick add a little more milk. Serve.
