Mushroom Gravy

1 lb. fresh mushrooms

flour
milk

Directions: 

When meat has cooked, remove to serving plate and increase temperature in skillet. Add mushrooms and saute until cooked. Add enough flour to pan to make a paste. Cook and stir about 3 minutes. Add milk as needed to reach desired consistency.

If you use a wire whisk you are less likely to get lumpy gravy and will be able to add milk more easily if it becomes too thick.

drippings from roast
1 cup water
1/2 cup flour

Heat drippings from roast in pan the roast was cooked in. When they are heated and boiling, stir in mixture of 1 cup water to 1/2 cup flour that has been stirred or shaken vigorously to remove lumps. Use as much as necessary for desired consistency or thickness. Bring to boil. Season with salt and pepper and/or add Kitchen Bouquet- just a couple of drops.

Spray 9x13 inch pan with non stick spray. Brown hamburger, add onion and cook until onion is translucent. Place half the tortillas in bottom of pan, spread to fit as well as possible. Add drained hamburger and spread evenly. Pour undrained beans evenly over hamburger and add sliced or grated cheese over beans.

Place remainder of the tortillas over the cheese. Mix the tomatoes, chicken soup, salsa and pour evenly over tortillas.

Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees. This freezes well. You should not use an aluminum pan since the tomato and chilies will eat through the pan-that is experience talking!

Bread Pans (purchase at Sur La Table) You probably want to spend a bit more and get nice bread pans. It makes a difference in the cooking. These work very well.
