Tomato Gravey

[Mike Belt]

My favorite meal of all time is fried chicken, turnip greens, and cornbread with tomato gravey. You don't even have to keep the chicken but you do need the stickens in the skillet for the gravey. I'm really shocked that so many people have never heard of it. How about you folks?

I'll admit it. I've never heard of it.

We had potluck @ work & one lady said "I'm bringing my tomato gravey". That was this summer, I had never heard of it until then. It was quite tastey, but I have never made it myself.

Mike,
I think I had it at your house once or twice but don't remember.

My great-grandma would make it occasionally but it has been a while since I've had it. I remember it being good.

She'd often make it with her fried chicken and green beans. Her green beans were the stuff of legend.

I don't recall ever having it. I was curious about how it was made and found the following recipe:

INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup bacon drippings
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups water 1/2 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
salt and ground black pepper to
taste

DIRECTIONS:
1. Heat bacon drippings in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir the flour into the bacon drippings and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly browned. Slowly pour the water into the flour mixture while whisking. Whisk in the tomato paste. Cook the mixture until it begins to thicken. Reduce heat to low and simmer until thick, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Hawk's recipe was right on! Just how my mom made it growing up in south MS and still how I make it today (sometimes just use vegetable oil)! We always had it with breakfast. Nothing like grits, buttered biscuits, and some tomato gravey poured over them...oh, and a side of bacon!!!

One of my all time favorite meals
Tenderised min. steak
flower and brown in skillet salt and pepper to taste.
drain oil, leave a little for taste if desired.
add two or three cans of tomato sauce simmer until tender an hour or more.
serve with mashed taters and we like English peas or corn.
That tomato sauce makes that min. steak killer!!!

My kids like it the way I use to as a kid

cut up a couple min. steaks pile on mashed taters make a hole in the middle fill with english peas and smother with the tomato
gravy.
The kids call it making a pond.
