help please...?

Question

Anyone has a recipe for mashed potato gravy? I found one and it requires meat dripping... Can some please tell me how do I get meat dripping? Please... I'm craving for mashed potato...

Answer 1

Meat drippings are juices and fat that you get from meat that you cook. If you don't have drippings, you can use beef broth.

Answer 2

you have many very good answers to help you along,after making a roast,the rich fluid,consisting of fat,meat juices & tasty,crispy bits from the meat that float around in the gravy are an altogether precious comodity.excess fat can always be skimmed off the liquid.Traditionally used to make the gravy that is served with the roast,any excess is worth storing in a covered container in the fridge,can be put to several uses by the innovative cook.

Answer 3

That's the fat left in the pan after you cook meat.
If you really want your gravy, replace the dripping with the same amount of butter....will change the taste a little bit, but not all that much.

Answer 4

ROAST BEEF, MASH POTATOES AND GRAVY

4 or 5 lb. roast
2 tbsp. salt
3 tbsp. flour
1 tsp. black pepper
6 or 7 lg. potatoes
4 tbsp. bacon drippings or lard

Mix salt, pepper and flour. Rub into roast on each side.

Heat iron skillet, add 2 tablespoons drippings, brown roast on one, add other 2 spoons of grease brown on other side.

Put in roasting plastic bag and add 2 tablespoons flour underneath roast. On top put remainder of leftover flour, pepper and salt mixture on top of roast along with 1 small chopped onion or half of large onion, 3/4 cup of water. Seal bag with plastic strip. Make 3 or 4 (1/2 inch) slits in top of bag.

Place in roasting pan with lid. Let cook at 300 degrees for 1 1/2 hours, then turn oven to 400 and cook 45 minutes to 1 hour longer.

Save brownings from skillet where roast was cooked. Add to juice after roast gets done and a tablespoon of flour to thicken. Cook until thick. Makes delicious gravy, add more water if needed.

Peel potatoes, quarter, then put water enough to cover. Add 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon of bacon drippings. Cook slowly until done. Leave small amount of water. Mash to the consistency of creamed potatoes, serve while hot with gravy from roast over them, black pepper to suit taste.

This isn't as fattening as creamed potatoes.

Answer 5

Dripping is the fat that has come out of meat during cooking.

Answer 6

You get meat dripping from meat you cook - like a roast.

Answer 7
