It is what restaurants serve and mixes make. True Appalachian homemade gravy is made by browning plain flour in bacon grease, stirring until it is almost burned...for the best flavor. [this takes practice] Then, quickly adding enough water to cool it a little, while still stirring...then, pour in the evaporated milk...a full can for a large skillet of gravy. [my KY Grandma used cow milk...and it tasted the best] Cook and stir until desired consistancy...some like it thinner...some like it very thick. It thickens while coming to a boil. If it gets too thick, thin with water. Open face the biscuits, place sausage on biscuits, then pour over the gravy...or eat sausage patties/links on the side. Using fried chicken drippings...this same gravy is the best there is for a Sunday fried chicken dinner. Soooo much better than commercial styled chicken gravy. The only good restaurant gravy and bisquits in WV are served at Susie's in So.Chas. and No.Chas. They close at noon. Their biscuits are wonderful, their gravy, though it is milk gravy, is better than homemade milk gravy. This gravy is called ‘milk gravy’ in WV. It is what restaurants serve and mixes make.

If I could find proper breakfast sausage here, I would totally make some. That looks delicious. If I could find proper breakfast sausage here, I would totally make some.

Gravy is my favorite food group, hands down. My husband often says that I would eat dog poop if it had gravy on it. I know, eeeuuw. But that's just how much I love gravy. Aw, MAN, that looks good!!
