Mix dry ingredients and store.

To use, per 1/3 cup dry mix:

Heat 1/4 cup lard or vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in 1/4 cup flour and continue stirring for several minutes, until you make a light brown roux.

Add 1/3 cup chili gravy dry mix and continue to cook for another minute, stirring constantly.

Add 2 cups water, mixing and stirring until the sauce thickens.

Turn heat to low and let sauce simmer for 15 minutes. Add water to adjust the thickness as needed. Makes 2 cups of sauce.
