I can't think of a better dish for Mother's Day Night.    Good 'Ole Southern Chocolate Gravy and biscuits.   That is as Southern of a dish as it comes!    Happy Mother's Day 2018 and Enjoy!


CHOCOLATE GRAVY
 
Ingredients:

1 ½ cups sugar
2 ½ Tablespoons flour
2 ½ Tablespoons Cacao  -- Hershey’s Special Dark 100% Cacao of course!
1 ½ cups milk – I use 2%
½ cup water
A few drops of vanilla (optional)
 
To Make: 

Mix sugar, flour and cacao in a large skillet then add the water to mix.
Add the milk and cook on medium heat until thick.
Add the few drops of vanilla while cooking (optional)
Serve over hot buttered biscuits

-This is one of my favorite casserole's to make!   I have been making this for at least 30 years.  My kids loved it so when they were little and love it now as adults.   My son even makes this himself now.

The nice thing about this dish is that it re-heats so well.   My son would literally it this every day for a week when he was a teenager.

It is a great dish for Sunday Supper this week!   You can serve with the sweet yellow cornbread or my husband likes it with just crackers as well.
