Do you ever make Green Chile gravy for your holiday mashed potatoes and turkey? Or perhaps you like biscuits and gravy? Well here's a recipe we're sure all you chile-lovers will enjoy. We think this Green Chile Gravy is much better than traditional gravy, and you can make it deliciously vegetarian by using coconut oil and olive oil instead of dairy.
This is a great recipe to use with mashed potatoes or biscuits and gravy all year round, so don't just make it for the holidays. :)
