Number Of Ingredients 19

GRAVY SAUCE
1/2 c butter or margarine
1 1/2 c milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 medium green bell pepper (chopped)
1/2 large onion *diced
1/2 c all purpose flour
1 small can of mushrooms (optional)
1 jar(s) (diced) pimientos 2 o.z.
1 1/4 c chicken broth
1 1/2 c velveeta cheese (cubed)
6 chicken bouillon cubes
1 large whole chicken or ( cups of turkey) boiled and deboned
BASE ( CAN USE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING ITEMS)
mashed pototoes
rice
biscuits
toast or bread

Steps:

  • 1. Boil 1 large whole chicken, add 3 chicken bouillon cubes to the water. Once chicken is falling off the bones, remove from stove top and de-bone, set chicken aside.
  • 2. In a large soup pot ( I use the same pot I boiled my chicken in) Melt butter on medium-high heat. Cook bell peppers and mushrooms in butter, stirring occasionally, until bell pepper is crisp-tender.
  • 3. Add flour, salt and pepper. 3 remaining bouillon cubes. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly,Stir in milk and broth. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Turn down to a low-medium heat and stir in chicken (or turkey) and pimientos.cut up Velveeta cheese into cubes to melt faster, I let my sauce simmer for about 30-40 mins to thicken up.
  • 4. Once thickened, pour over rice,potatoes, biscuits,bread or even toast!! It's fabulous over all these different items. That way you never get board with it. I usually cook up some cornbread to go with it. Hope you love it as much as my friends and family do.
