2 cups all-purpose flour
3 cups chopped onion

1/4 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
2 cups stock or water

directions

With the bacon drippings and flour, in a large pot over medium heat make a dark roux. Add the onions, bell pepper, green onions, and celery, and cook until the onions are clear. Add the parsley and garlic and cook another 10 minutes. Add the stock slowly, stirring all the while to create a smooth, thick gravy. Add the remaining ingredients and enough water or stock to cover. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat to low, cover and simmer 4 to 6 hours. Serve over cooked spaghetti or rice.
