Actually, hamburger gravy has many types (most fairly healthy) and use
little or none of the actual fat from the cooked ground beef.
 
Standard gravy rule of thumb:
 
2TB fat base (can be any fat but not oil)
4-5TB flour
 
Melt fat and slowly incorporate flour to a paste
 
2-3c broth (can be any type including bullion but some bullions are too
salty)
 
Common fats used (some area dependent):
Beef (may be ground fat 'drippings')
Chicken (other poultry too like duck or goose)
Pork (sausage, bacon, etc.)
 
Common additions:
Worstershire sauce
Kitchen Bouquet
Salt and Pepper
Ketchup
Port
 
Basics are to make a slow paste of the fat and flour then slowly add
liquid and seasonings of choice then wisk it until thickened. Takes
about 5 minutes.
 
In traditional southern or early American style, the fat was anything
you had. Navy style, things got healthier but used to be no fat that
was made from cooking and could be used, was used. Our infamous
'chipped beef and gravy' comes from that era. Started with salt beef
or salt pork or dried beef for the Navy.

I'd say no, just a tradition she carried there from other parts. I've
made gravy from hanburger fat before. It was actually pretty good.

What's the difference? It seems you make very nice candy. You could
bring in a little income doing so. Being the King of Inaction is pretty
much the same thing as being lazy when you get right down to it.

I was talking (briefly) on the phone with a friend in my neighborhood.
He was just calling to ask how I'm doing.
 
He's 67 and very concerned about Covid-19. Rather than go to the
grocery store he used Instacart to place a grocery order with Publix for
delivery. (This is the friend who is a vegetarian but doesn't push it
as an agenda. He also doesn't cook.)
 
Was he ever disappointed! He got a 5 lb. bag of oranges and said half
of the oranges in the bag were rotten. He said the lettuce and other
fresh produce he ordered appeared to be the dregs... stuff the store
would have wound up discarding and writing off.
 
This sort of thing is the main reason I'm not interested in having some
random grocery store employee do my shopping for me.
 
Maybe some of you have used Instacart. If so, I hope you had a much
better experience with it. :)

Yep, use it all the time with great success, my
daughter too.
Instacart is not the store's employee. They
are shopping the store of your choice for
you. We've used it for 2 of our favorites now
and considering Target today.
 
Each time, my shopper communicated
with me while she shopped. If something
I wanted was not available, she/ he either aske me what I would take instead or gave me
options according to what was in front of her/him
 
Tough luck for him, I hope he finds
something better he can use but as for
me, I'll continue on with Instacart

The American grizzly bare should be our national symbol - if you ask me.
