2 Cups water
14 Ounces beef broth
2 Tablespoons cornstarch

In a large sauce pan heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Saute the chicken gizzard in this heated oil for 4 to 5 minutes until cooked through.
Remove the gizzards from the pan and then finely minced.
Combine the ground meat in a small bowl. Mix the meat together with your hands until it is well combined.
Add the bell pepper to the sauce pan and allow to sauce for 1 minute.
Add the ground meat mixture to the pan and cook until it’s browned. Use a potato masher to smash the cooked meat mixture into very tiny pieces as it is browning.
Add waster and the broth to the pan. Immediately whisk in the cornstarch and the flour.

Reduce the heat and simmer the grave for 30 to 35 minutes or until the mixture is thick.
