Homemade gravy

- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- ¼ cup rice bran or olive oil

- Add water, seasoned salt, black pepper, salt and mustard if using. Stir.
- Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer until thickened as desired. Add additional salt to taste.
- This recipe will make about 1 1/2 cups, depending on how thick you like it. Multiply the ingredients if you need more.
