3 slices chopped bacon
Roast or other meat
3 tbs. flour
2 tbs. cooking oil
1/4 cup chopped onions
1/4 cup chopped celery
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tbs. All-Purpose Seasoning
1 can beef broth
Starch and water mixture to thicken
Salt and pepper
Fry chopped bacon in a pot big enough to cook a roast. Add oil and brown all sides of the roast or other meats. Remove the meat, heat the remaining oils until it reaches frying temperature. Add flour, stirring constantly until the flour mixture is smooth with no lumps. Reduce heat to medium and cook until the mixture reaches a dark peanut butter color. Stir the bottom of the pot constantly. Increase the heat to medium high and add all the other ingredients except beef broth and starch and water. Sauté 3 minutes. Add beef broth, bring to a boil. Salt and pepper to taste. Use this gravy to cook pot roast. This gravy is also great in Gumbos and Soups
