No joke! Eaters beware, this'll stop yalls arteries. Try it on my bacon cheddar corn fritters for assured coronary thrombosis. I love gravy, its a decidedly Southern thing. Chicken, biscuits, hash browns, I cant think of anything that wouldn't benefit from gravy. Read more This recipe owes its origin to my dad, who probably likes bacon grease more than me! I should also note this is also known as white gravy, cream gravy, and sawmill gravy. See less
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons of hot sausage grease (save the sausage) shopping list
- 2 tablespoons of bacon grease (eat the bacon, I do it as soon as it cools) shopping list
- 4-5 tablespoons of flour shopping list
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk shopping list
- Pepper ( to taste ) shopping list
- (Optional) shopping list
- You can add about 2 tablespoons cream to the milk for a richer but thicker gravy shopping list
- Mince up the sausage and add it to the finished gravy. shopping list
How to make it
- Combine the greases over medium heat. Then add the flour. The flour should be about 3/4 the amount of grease. Bring to a simmer and cook till the roux reaches your desired color (the more you cook the roux the stronger the flavor, don't undercook it however, if not it just tastes like raw flour. I like a nice dark amber color)
- When you are satisfied with the color of your roux bring the heat down to low and whisk in your milk. Stir continuously if not your likely to get lumpy gravy.
- Once you have mixed in all the milk bring this to a boil and add your pepper. Again stir continuously I cant point this out enough. When the first bubbles work their way up through the gravy it'll be ready.
- If it seems too thick you can take it off the heat and add more milk. If it seems too thin don't worry, it'll thicken on its own.
- Once off the fire you can add the minced sausage.

Gravy is good; but, as you point out, not so good for ya. Seems like about everythin that taste great is bad for you. Just don't know how I got so old eating all that non health food. Great post but no gravy on my ice cream. RJ
