1 cup celery, diced, with tops
1 medium onion, diced
2 tablespoons drippings
2 cups lamb, cooked, diced
2/3 cup brown gravy
1/8 teaspoon curry powder
2 drops Tabasco (optional)
salt

Brown celery and onion slowly in drippings. Add meat, gravy, and seasonings. Use a larger quantity of curry powder if desired. Stir over low heat until well mixed and hot. If too dry, add boiling water.

To complete the meal: Serve with flaky cooked rice, snap beans, coleslaw, and for dessert sweet-potato pie or pineapple chiffon pie.

For variety: To make a savory meat pie: Omit the curry powder and Tabasco sauce. Pour heated meat, vegetables, and gravy into a casserole and top with crisp, golden brown baking powder biscuits just before serving.
