I know it is basically cocoa, milk, sugar, and flour...but not sure what proportions you use (it has been a while since I made it). You put it on biscuits like any other gravy.<br/><br/>My tomato and chocolate gravy are two of the things I remember most of my granny...we always had one on Saturday and the other on Sundays. :-D Mmm Chocolate Gravy….*drools like Homer Simpson* When I find my recipe I will try to remember to give it to you!

This is the way my grandmother made it:<br/><br/>Cook up some bacon or sausage (sausage is better, bacon is fine) in a skillet. Make sure you have plenty of leftover grease in the pan (you don't need a lot though just a few tablespoons full). Add flour and milk, salt and pepper until you have a nice sawmill gravy. Then you have your choice of tomato paste, canned tomatos of your choice, tomato sauce or even fresh tomatos. Heat through and serve over biscuits (home made are the best).<br/><br/>I have to ask though...have you ever had chocolate gravy??? (it is NOT made with grease btw).

Good stuff, but not really the epicurean ideal. I adore the health-forgetfulness of Southern cooking. it’s just like, “screw the arteries people, let’s eat!”
