Could you post the recipes for the meatloaf and the chicken gravy. Thanks!
I don’t use a recipe for either one – I’m sorry!! It varies a little depending on what we have in the fridge, haha.
Would love the chicken gravy recipe if you’re willing to post. Thank you!
I don’t use a recipe. Sorry! I just make a basic roux with extra seasonings and stir in diced cooked chicken. And serve it over rice. The seasonings, amount of chicken, and liquid used for the roux all vary depending on what I have in hand, and what needs to be used up.
