Directions:1. Prepare chili gravy- In medium size skillet, heat bacon grease over medium high heat. When hot, add flour. Stirring constantly, cook for 1-2 minutes. Add chicken broth.

Notes: Daughter Ashley's Aunt Patti ran a Mexican restaurant called Tia Zia. For years, my favorite meal was a beef enchilada with red enchilada gravy, lettuce, and tomatoes. And Ashley loved their potachos, which was basically a baked potato with the gravy, meat, and sour cream on it. That restaurant has been gone for quite a few years now, and I still miss my favorite, and I know Ashley does too. Over the years, I have tried to make enchiladas using canned store bought enchilada sauce. It always was disappointing, and then I discovered I was using the wrong thing. Enchilada sauce isn't necessarily enchilada gravy.
This year, 2021, post Covid, we are all traveling again, and headed to our cabin in Custer South Dakota. As I was planning some family meals, I really wanted to provide a meal that would bring back memories, and so I did some searching, creating, and editing, and came up with this enchilada gravy, that seems pretty close to Tia Zia and will allow us to enjoy our memories of that special place.
