Recipes Side Dish Sauces and Condiments Gravy Recipes Old-Time Kentucky Bacon Milk Gravy for Biscuits 4.6 (99) 81 Reviews 19 Photos I grew up eating this milk gravy made with bacon grease. Everyone has heard of sausage gravy, but it doesn't compare to this. After frying your bacon for breakfast, use the bacon drippings to make true Kentucky biscuit gravy. Is it fattening? Oh yeah, you better believe it — but it's worth it! Pour it over biscuits and serve with crispy bacon and scrambled or fried eggs.
