Chili gravy

Recipe for chili gravy in our easy tex mex recipes collection.

Recipe ingredients

  • 4 dried red New Mexico chiles
  • 8 dried red ancho chiles
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 4 cups beef stock
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons bacon drippings, optional
  • 2 teaspoons cumin seeds, toasted and ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon Mexican oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon masa harina

How to make chili gravy

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Break off the stems of the chile pods and discard the seeds. Place the pods in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast them for about 5 minutes. Watch the pods closely so that they do not scorch.
  • Break each chile into several pieces. In a blender, puree the pods with the stock. You should be able to see tiny pieces of chile pulp, but they should be bound in a smooth, thick liquid. Set the puree aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, brown the meat with the onion and garlic. Drain the grease. Add bacon drippings, if desired, and return the pan to the heat. When the bacon drippings have melted, add the cumin, oregano, salt and pureed chiles or chili powder and beef stock. Simmer the mixture for about 50 minutes, until the meat is tender and the liquid has thickened slightly.
  • In a small bowl, mix the Masa Harina with 2 tablespoons of the cooking liquid, and stir the mixture back into the gravy. Simmer the gravy for an additional 10 minutes. Serve with Tex-Mex enchiladas, tamales or other dishes.
