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.

Ingredients

  • 6 slices bacon

  • 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk

  • ½ cup milk

  • 2 tablespoons salted butter

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • salt to taste

Directions

  1. Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and crumble when cool enough to handle.

  2. Add flour to the bacon grease and stir until a paste forms. Cook and stir until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Gradually add evaporated milk and milk, stirring frequently. Add butter, sugar, pepper, and salt; continue to cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in crumbled bacon and serve.

Cook's Note:

If you don't want to add the bacon to the gravy, you can eat it on the side. This recipe can also be used with breakfast sausage.
