What is Chorizo Gravy?
When we make it, we use simple ingredients like…
Ingredients:
- chorizo

- Next, add in 2 heaping tablespoons of flour.
- Whisk together with the chorizo.
- Pour in the milk, garlic powder, and salt.
Cook over med-high heat, whisking for about 3 min or until thickened, and then serve!
