This is the typical basic ingredients for making country gravy...but in my mid-west upbringing we use the drippings or grease from meat. Vegetable oil sounds bland. In my family, we start with cooking the sausage or country fried steak then using 1/2 cup of the grease to start the gravy. This is where the flavor is really at! At least if your going to make it fatty you might as well use something that has flavor, right? As some of the reviewers state using butter, I agree, but only as a second choose to using drippings. P.S. Salt and pepper is paramount to any country recipe.

These are so much better than any canned refried beans even than most Mexican restaurants. My son loves bean burritos but the whole family loves this. I use chicken stock, instead of water, that I freeze from boiling roasted chicken off the bones.

This are by far the best wings I've had! I first grilled them on the BBQ for about half the time and basted them with a favorite Hoisin Sauce I make. Following that I did as one reviewer suggested by oven-frying them. I still coated it with the egg and flour then sprayed them Pam Butter Spray. A bit time consuming but so worth it. We poured some Sweet Thai Chili Sauce over them and Bam! instant family hit.
