SOUR WIENER GRAVY
This is an unusual kind of gravy with sliced wieners that is served over mashed potatoes. The first time I had this was at my sister-in-laws over twenty years ago. I've changed the ingredients just a bit, but since then it's been among our family's favorite. Now our daughter Jenny prepares it for her family.

Steps:
- 1. In a large deep 12-inch skillet, combine the water, onion, salt and pepper, plus the gingersnaps. (You can also prepare this dish in a chicken fryer, with a lid, which is what I use.)
- 2. Stir gently until the gingersnaps have dissolved.
- 3. Add the vinegar and sliced wieners.
- 4. Heat over medium-low heat, until it almost boils and is somewhat thick; stirring continuously.
- 5. (When preparing this in a chicken fryer, I cook this over high heat; stirring frequently, until it comes to a boil and the gravy has thickened up (in about 10 minutes), and after that, I lower the heat to a simmer, and cook/simmer the dish just a bit longer, for about 10-15 minutes longer.)
- 6. Serve over the hot-cooked mashed potatoes.
- 7. *Note: When adding the gingersnap cookies, be sure to only use the store brands that I had suggested. Do not use home-baked cookies for this recipe. Also, you can also substitute franks or hot dogs for the all-beef wieners.

Steps:
- 1. In a skillet, heat your oil or grease over medium heat. If you want it to taste mild, use oil. If you want it to have a stronger pork taste, use some bacon grease. I like to use a little of both. How much you use will depends on how many wieners you have. For 2 wieners I use about 1 T. of oil, 1 T. of bacon grease and 2 T. of flour (later in recipe). Slice wieners into coins into grease. Fry until desired crispness...I like mine about half crispy. Sprinkle flour on top of wieners and stir (should be the consistency of wet sand) and fry for a few minutes until flour starts to get a nice tan color. A little at a time while constantly stirring, add your liquid. If you want a stronger taste, use water. If you like a creamier taste, use milk, or some of both. How much will depend on how much grease you started with, but for what I've told you already will probably be around 2 cups. Cook and stir until bubbly and desired thickness. Season with salt and pepper. Serve over biscuits, toast or your favorite bread.
Tips:
- Use quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your wiener gravy. Use a good-quality sausage, all-purpose flour, and whole milk.
- Brown the sausage thoroughly: Browning the sausage adds flavor and helps to prevent it from becoming greasy. Cook the sausage over medium heat until it is browned on all sides.
- Use a roux: A roux is a mixture of flour and fat that is used to thicken sauces and gravies. To make a roux for wiener gravy, whisk together equal parts flour and melted butter in a saucepan. Cook the roux over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it is golden brown.
- Add milk gradually: When adding milk to the roux, whisk constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Add the milk in small increments, stirring until the gravy is smooth and creamy.
- Season to taste: Season the wiener gravy with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. Common seasonings for wiener gravy include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
Conclusion:
Wiener gravy is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of foods. It is a great way to use up leftover sausage, and it can also be made with ground beef or turkey. Wiener gravy is also a great way to add flavor to dishes like biscuits and mashed potatoes. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, wiener gravy is a surefire hit with family and friends.
