HOW TO MAKE COUNTRY GRAVY



How to Make Country Gravy image

This is a beautiful example of classic, very old-school American country cooking. There are a lot of variations, and this is my favorite. This goes on fried chicken, country-fried steak, and biscuits.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons butter
8 ounces breakfast sausage links, casings removed and meat broken up
4 strips bacon, sliced crosswise
½ cup chopped green onions (light parts only)
⅓ cup packed all-purpose flour
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 ½ cups cold milk
1 tablespoon chopped green onion
1 pinch cayenne pepper for garnish

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat; cook sausage and bacon in the hot butter, stirring to break the sausage up into small pieces, until sausage is browned and bacon is almost crisp, about 10 minutes. Mix 1/2 cup green onion into sausage mixture and saute until onions are soft, about 3 more minutes.
  • Stir flour into meat mixture, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, until thoroughly combined and mixture is pasty. Cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 minutes to remove raw taste of flour.
  • Whisk milk into meat mixture, about 1 cup at a time, until combined. Continue to whisk until gravy begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Turn heat to medium-high, bring gravy to a simmer, and season with a pinch of cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Continue to simmer gravy until flavors have blended and gravy is thick, 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon green onion and a pinch of cayenne pepper for garnish.

GRANDMA'S COUNTRY BREAKFAST GRAVY



Grandma's Country Breakfast Gravy image

Are you hankering for the Country Breakfast Gravy like Grandma used to make? Maybe some of you have never tasted REAL homemade gravy over fresh baked biscuits. That stuff they serve at most restaurants these days is usually out of a gallon can, or started from a mix in a bag. You can easily identify it because it has a slightly-gray undertone, kind of like cream of mushroom soup's color and texture. Don't get me wrong - I love cream of mushroom soup. But I wouldn't put it on a biscuit. Give this creamy, rich GRAVY a try. You'll get the hang of it quickly, and pretty soon, as your fame spreads, people will be hounding you to make it for them.

Time 20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup sausage drippings (maybe more) or 3/4 cup bacon grease, MELTED (maybe more)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (maybe more)
3 (12 ounce) cans Carnation Evaporated Milk (Cream)
1 cup water (or none, see below)
3 cups whole milk, divided (if using 2% milk omit the 1 cup water above)
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Pour the Evaporated Milk, water and 2 cups of the whole milk into a large bowl; set aside.
  • Heat meat drippings/grease until hot, but not smoking. Slowly stir in the flour a small amount at at time until thoroughly incorporated and no lumps remain - (use a large, long-handled stainless steel cooking SPOON to stir the mixture with). Cook over medium-heat for a few minutes, stirring as needed to keep from burning on bottom. The texture should be a medium-thin paste in thickness; add a bit more flour, or melted grease, if needed, until proper thickness is attained. Cook and stir a few minutes until the rue begins to turn a LIGHT tan color.
  • Pour the cream mixture into the rue, and, using a large WHISK, quickly stir until all the ingredients are blended and no lumps remain. Stir in the salt and pepper.
  • Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often with the stainless steel SPOON, until desired thickness is reached. You may need to add the remaining 1 cup of whole milk it it gets too thick. (Rembember, the gravy will continue to thicken a slight bit as it cools.) Remove from heat; place a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the gravy surface to keep a skin from forming if not serving immediately.
  • Note: You may stir in some breakfast sausage, (I use Jimmy Dean Original), that has been cooked and crumbled if desired. Just add this at the very end right before you remove the pan from the heat.

  • Season the gravy to taste. Once the gravy is cooked, season it to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
