1 tbsp. dry mustard
1/2 c. water

Mix together the first 9 ingredients. Shape into 10 to 15 patties. In a large skillet heat about 2 tablespoons of shortening. Put in patties and brown on both sides. Cover patties with the celery, green pepper or onion. Mix flour in 1/4 cup water, then add 2 more cups of water. Pour over meat to make a gravy. Cover and cook slowly for 30 minutes.
