Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

¼ cup bacon drippings
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
4 cups milk, divided

Steps:

  • Heat bacon drippings in a skillet over medium heat; whisk flour into drippings until smooth. Reduce heat to low and cook the flour mixture until it turns a caramel brown color, stirring constantly, about 15 minutes. Be careful, the roux burns easily. Stir in salt and black pepper.
  • Whisk 1/2 cup milk into the roux until thoroughly blended. Continue whisking milk into the gravy, 1/2 cup at a time, whisking in each amount of milk completely before adding more. Bring gravy to a simmer and whisk constantly until thick, smooth, and bubbling.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use good quality dried beef, all-purpose flour, butter, and milk to ensure the best flavor and texture.
  • Soak the dried beef: Soaking the dried beef in cold water before cooking helps to soften it and remove some of the saltiness, making for a more tender and flavorful gravy.
  • Cook the dried beef slowly: Simmer the dried beef in water until it is tender, about 1 hour. This low and slow cooking method helps to extract the flavor from the beef and create a rich gravy.
  • Make a roux: A roux is a mixture of flour and butter that is used to thicken the gravy. Be sure to cook the roux until it is golden brown for a rich flavor.
  • Add the milk and seasonings: Slowly whisk the milk into the roux until the gravy reaches the desired consistency. Season the gravy to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Serve the gravy over biscuits: Dried beef gravy is traditionally served over biscuits, but it can also be served over toast, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Dried beef gravy is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and hearty breakfast or dinner. With its simple ingredients and flavorful taste, dried beef gravy is sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a comforting and satisfying meal, give this dried beef gravy recipe a try!
