directions

  • Cook and drain beef. (I rinse the beef under hot water to remove all of the grease -- it is rich enough!).
  • Melt butter in a pan and when melted and lightly sizzling add the flour.
  • Whisk until combined and gently simmer the butter/flour mixture for about two minutes to remove the flour/starch taste but don't let it brown any.
  • Add the 1.5 cups of milk and quickly whisk until smooth. SImmer until thick over medium heat stirring constantly. It will be quite thick.
  • Add the half and half cream and quickly whisk until smooth.
  • Cook over low heat until thickened.
  • Add the beef and adjust the seasonings.
  • Serve over good biscuits well buttered.
  • This is a very creamy and rich gravy. You may use 2 cups whole milk if you need to omit the cream.
  • If it is too thick for your taste -- then dilute with more milk -- but it usually is perfect the way it is written.
  • Leftovers are excellent.

  1. This White Trash Gravy was wonderful. My husband and I enjoyed it very much. Thanks for sharing this little walk down memory lane Gary. It was creamy rich and decadent. I served it over homemade buttermilk biscuits for a memorable meal.
     
  2. I made this on 10/16/17 for mine and my SO's dinner,and most importantly for Potsie's COOK A THON. Since there was just two of us the recipe was reduced by half ,except for the amount of sausage that remained the same. Instead of serving it over biscuits, I put mine over Fried Potatoes. And it was a wonderful guilty pleasure,which will be made again. No tweaking was needed, perfect as written.Thanks for posting Potsie, and " Keep Smiling :) "
     
  3. We are trying to eat healthier and have less meat, so I made this with half smoked tofu (in stuff I swear it's good) and low fat turkey. I also used just a splash of cream and 1% milk. The
     
  4. I love this gravy. The ultimate breakfast comfort food. I used ground turkey since that is all I had. I used a cream. I couldn't use pepper due to allergies in the family, so I used some garlic powder and it was delicious! I added a wonderful savory flavor to the gravy.
     
  5. This is a very good gravy and biscuit recipe. I used sausage and also a little bit of cream (had to use it up) and it was rich rich rich. We loved it though. I will make again, as we couldn't get enough of it. Great flavor and it cooked up so nicely. Thank you for sharing this with us.

  1. Tasty. I used nonfat milk in place of whole milk and half-and-half cream (makes it a bit healthier). I had to add a little more flour to thicken it up. Paired it with my homemade biscuits. Delicious!
