HOW TO MAKE COUNTRY GRAVY
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.

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
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.

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.

I found this online, this is for a large quantity. I haven't tried it yet. My suggestion is to cut it down by half just to try it before making a large batch. This keeps as long as the powdered milk. Great pantry staple to have on hand.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 225˚F (110˚C).
- Set a steak in the center of a cutting board and cover with a piece of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound the steak evenly to ¼-inch (½ cm) thick. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. Repeat with the remaining meat.
- In a wide, shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and 1 cup (240 ml) of milk. In a separate shallow dish, mix together the 1 ½ cups (190 g) of flour, pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Dredge the steaks in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg mixture, letting any excess egg drip off. Coat again in the flour mixture. Set aside for 10-15 minutes, until the coating has dried out a bit.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a 10-inch (25.5 cm) pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 375˚F (190˚C).
- Fry the steaks, 2 at a time, for 3 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook on the other side for 3 minutes more, until golden brown and cooked through when the internal temperature reaches 155˚-165˚F (170˚-175˚C). Transfer the steaks to a paper towel-lined plate or baking sheet and immediately season with salt. Once all of the steaks are done frying, transfer to the oven while you prepare the gravy.
- Pour the hot oil into a heatproof bowl and let cool before discarding. 9. Leave any browned bits in the pan.
- In the same pan, without wiping it out, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of flour, whisking to incorporate. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the roux is a light brown color. Add the heavy cream and remaining milk. Bring to a simmer and cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Ladle the gravy over the steaks and serve with your favorite side dishes.
- Enjoy!

DOWN-HOME COUNTRY BREAKFAST GRAVY
My father's aunt used to make this gravy for breakfast every time we came to visit. It has been a staple in our family for as long as I can remember. I have tweaked it a little to suit my husband's taste but for me it's still the brown breakfast gravy I grew up with. Serve over warm biscuits.

Tips:
- Use a flavorful base: The fond, or browned bits, left in the pan after cooking the meat or vegetables adds a ton of flavor to the gravy. Make sure to scrape up all those bits before adding the flour.
- Choose the right thickener: All-purpose flour is the most common thickener for gravy, but you can also use cornstarch, arrowroot powder, or even mashed potatoes. The amount of thickener you need will depend on how thick you want your gravy to be.
- Cook the gravy until it's thickened: Don't rush the process! Bring the gravy to a simmer and let it cook for at least 5 minutes, stirring constantly. This will allow the flour to cook out and the gravy to thicken properly.
- Season to taste: Once the gravy has thickened, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and any other spices you like. You can also add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately: Country gravy is best served hot and fresh. Ladle it over your favorite dishes, such as mashed potatoes, chicken fried steak, or biscuits.
Conclusion:
Making country gravy is a simple process that can be mastered with a little practice. By following these tips, you can create a delicious and flavorful gravy that will elevate any dish. Whether you're serving it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, country gravy is sure to be a hit. So next time you're in the kitchen, don't be afraid to give it a try!
