Description

Saturday mornings at Nana’s means eggs, sausage, bacon, apple butter, biscuits and gravy. I have eaten this all my life. You know you better hurry and get up when you smell the bacon cooking, because you don’t want to miss this!

Ingredients

  • 4 Tablespoons Fat Drippings From Bacon Or Sausage
  • 4 Tablespoons Flour
  • 2 cups Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Preparation

Combine fat and flour in an iron skillet on medium-high heat and stir well until lumps are gone and mixture is nice and brown.

Add milk and salt and stir until thick. If it gets too hot, it will start to foam, so turn it down a little and continue until thick. (Nana’s gravy is neither too thick nor too thin. It’s just right!)

Serve on top of your favorite biscuits!

Note: Use the skillet you just cooked the meat in and be sure to scrape up all the flavorful bits still stuck to the skillet once you add the milk.

Turned out great! Even decreased amount of recipe by 1/3 and still tasted delicious. My husband gave it 5 stars (that’s a big deal in my house)! The bacon grease made it a bit salty but that is how we like it:)
