SGH
Posts: 28,988
@PNWFoodie
Ingredients
1/4 cup fried meat grease. Preferably bacon or sausage. Or my personal favorite a 50/50 combination of the 2.
1/4 cup flour
1 sausage patty, cooked and crumbled
1/4 cup bacon bits
2 cups milk. I prefer whole milk.
Salt heavily.
Course ground pepper. Again heavy.
Instructions:
After frying bacon, sausage or both, pour off fat and measure 1/4 cup drippings.
Place back in pan and add flour. Stir until blended.
Add milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until bubbling and thick.
Season to taste with salt and coarse ground pepper.
Add crumbled sausage and bacon bits. Stir well and serve.
And above all, enjoy sister and sorry that this is late. Been real busy as of late. I will post the chicken fried steak later tonight sister.

Add buttermilk biscuits, fried meat of choice and scrambled eggs and you have a spectacular meal breakfast lunch or supper!

The above gravy is beyond awesome on about anything. From cornbread to cactus this gravy really shines. It is honestly spectacular.

I'll have an order of Biscuits with that pleaseSalado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Just given a Mini to add to the herd.

Can't argue with that. Cubed steak and mashed potatoes come to mind real quick like.

@SGH Please know I was just (gently, I hope!) teasing you, my friend! Having said that, this looks like it may be the recipe I've been searching for. Still can't believe there is no secret seasoning, though. When you say sausage patty, how large of a patty are you referring to? We don't usually have whole milk in the house, but for this I will make an exception!
Looking forward to your CFS recipe...if anyone can knock it out of the park, I'm sure you can!XL, JR, and more accessories than anyone would ever need near Olympia, WA

Sister I usually fry a "fist" size hunk of sausage. Works out just right.

Sister the secret is whole milk instead of half and half that most folks use. Whole milk puts it over the top.Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

Gravy is gravy...it's what you add to it before and post that makes it shine. Bacon grease is always good, along with the bacon bits which make a pretty basic recipe taste good. Like other things Southern...Simple is the way to go.
Some peeps put cornmeal in sawmill gravy to make it gritty.Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ.... -

To each his own, but no cornmeal for this NGA redneck! -
@PNWFoodie
Sister on the country fried steak, do you want the do it yourself from scratch recipe or the SGH fast and simple version? They are equally delicious but I have a way that takes all the work out of it. Kind of cheating if you will.Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

As said...Some peeps. I prefer no grit myself. Nothing better than a good sausage gravy on some buttermilk biscuits.Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ.... -

I've never had the gritty...I think. I just know when I've had fantastic gravy, it was truly a glorious thing. XL, JR, and more accessories than anyone would ever need near Olympia, WA

@cazzy
Caz brought up a real good point. There is no way that I can go into all the uses of the sawmill gravy as it would take volumes. That said, I'm a huge fan of "grits". When I'm going to have the gravy with grits, I do add a little cornmeal to balance out the "feel" if you will. But for meats and breads I do not. It's a personal choice and matter of individual taste. But at the end of the day, I promise you that the above gravy is simply outstanding. Give it a try my friends.Location- Just "this side" of Biloxi, Ms.

@PNWFoodie
I left out the most important thing of all sister. Be very careful and do not scorch it. There is nothing that tastes worse than scorched gravy. Medium or medium/low heat is the rule. Don't ask me how I know what scorched gravy tastes like

Cooking southern food is keeping it simple. Like bbq most things are cooked slow. My mil cooks chicken for more than an hour. ..like the potatoes. It's almost a reverse sear. Go till tender and then crisp.Green egg, dead animal and alcohol. The "Boro".. TN

Thats pretty much how I do it @sgh but I throw a big cube of butter in with the grease and throw a few shakes of tony chacheres in there, too. That stuff doesnt last any time at my deer camp.

Is it blasphemy to serve it with English muffins? Just seems an easier choice for the fest...XL, JR, and more accessories than anyone would ever need near Olympia, WA
