The bacon grease and butter do not create the roux I am used to seeing, (it was much thinner) so I added more four. My mistake. I had to add more milk. Just follow the directions as written. It was very good and very tasty. I will surely make it again.

Yum! The flavor of this gravy is excellent. I doubled the flour to get the consistency we prefer. Thanks for sharing this outstanding recipe.
