How to Make Gebhardt's Chili Gravy

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté until the onion is softened but not browned (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Stir in the bacon drippings, chili powder, cumin, and oregano. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
  3. Gradually whisk in the beef stock, a little at a time, ensuring each addition is fully incorporated before adding more.
  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has slightly reduced and thickened.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the masa harina with 2-4 tablespoons of water (or a few tablespoons of the gravy) until a smooth slurry forms.
  6. Slowly whisk the masa harina slurry into the simmering gravy. Continue to simmer for 10 more minutes, or until the desired consistency is reached.
  7. Remove from heat and taste the gravy. Add salt, if needed, to your liking. Serve hot over your favorite Tex-Mex dishes!
