i couldn't find a recipe for it in any of my cookbooks.... i suppose it could be called country gravy. or sausage gravy. does anyone have a wonderful recipe for it, whether it includes sausage or not? i made my first batch the other day, but it was missing something. thanks!

This topic has definetley got me hungry for biscuits and gravy!!! I make it out at horse camp...brown sausage in a cast iron skillet over the fire, add milk, flour, salt and pepper to taste... alittle butter and heat until it thickens. Very simple but it seems to attract a crowd!!!

Belle, When I go to make gravey, I stick my pan of biscuits in the oven, then proceed with gravey, I have my flour and milk ready, then put the flour in skillet let brown as to how much we like it then pour milk in , I never quit stirring from the time I start. The stirring is the main thing about making gravey do any of you agree

If you have a problem getting your gravy smooth (I'm sure noone but me makes lumpy gravy) Put the lumpy gravy in the blender and whip it up. Then put it back in the skillet to reheat. We actually prefer it that way because it is so light and smooth. |

I do the basic recipe with the drippings, and add butter and flour then cook the flour and slowly add milk (whole or nothing less than 2%) and I also add pepper, Lawrey's season salt and sage.
Enjoy!

lol Dana! I was thinking the same thing! Only I don't have any chipped beef in the house. :(
My kids don't like it either, probly cuz I don't make it enough..
When I do make it, I have to make a small portion for just me.
But I haven't had it an ages!
Next time I'm at the store, I'll have to pick some up ;)

Elise! S**t on a Shingle was what my dad affectionatly called chipped beef on toast! I love it! I've never made it for my family because my kids hated anything in a sauce. But they are grown now... maybe that's for dinner tonight!

I had to look for a recipie when I first got married too! I found one in a church cookbook, and thought is this it?! lol
My mom used to mke chipped beef on toast all the time, it is my favorite! But hubby doesn't like it :( he was the first to call it s*** on a shingle, I had never heard that before..
My mil has made buiscuts and gravy with bacon and it was good too. I don't make gravy much just because it takes so much milk. That and I never know if I do it right. When I make buiscuts and gravy for the cowboys, I make it from a bag :( shh don't tell!

my mom always made milk gravy with the pan drippings after frying up fat back... it was divine!!! i haven't had it that way in years and probably wouldn't eat it anyway as i'm about 90-95% vegetarian and the whole idea of "fat back" is kinda gross to me these days... but oh, the memories of momma's cookin!

Audrey, I sure do have a quirk, when I was a kid I was the only girl so kitchen work was my job, well after breakfast and clean up time I always had to scrape out the gravey bowl, by the time it got cold it had a different smell and would make me sick, I love gravey but to this day I will not eat anyone elses gravey except mine. I know its just a NUTTY notion in my head. And it still makes me sick to scrape out the gravey bowl

Mmmmm...Nothing better on a cold, frosty morning than homemade biscuits and gravy. I'm like all the others who make this delicacy. Nothing special about it, just make a cream gravy after browning the sausage.
On a side note, I HATED gravy when I was a kid, I think it was the pepper Mom liberally put in hers. But when I got married, my husband wanted me to make it so I learned how and now love, love it!

Lisa keep your plans open for Dec. 20 no telling what we are going to get into, I think I can convince him to make another biscuit if I will just find the right pan, He has worried because it didnt get brown on the bottom

Girls, I have never used a recipe for making gravey, but do it more or less like Aunt Jenny, Here in Ky we are big on cured country ham, so gravey will be brown, but I use a tad of coffee in mine , my mother in law taught me this many years ago, We also do Red Eye gravey which is just water poured in the drippings and boiled down. Sausage and gravey is my favorite

Kay, We always did that with any kind of gravy, we loved bread and gravy! I also do chipped dried beef with the creamy gravy, just brown in butter, add flour and stir around, add milk till consistency you want it, put over biscuits... |

All this talk of gravy is making me hungry! Fried chicken, mashed potatoes and milk gravy - my favorite comfort food dinner. My mom made this every Sunday when I was growing up. After we'd eat our food then we'd take a piece of bread, tear it up in little pieces, and put gravy on top of the bread. That was like dessert!

You can make the same gravy with any meat that is fried...even fried chicken..but remove alot of the grease and scrape up all the yummy bits ..gravy is such a good thing!

OMG!! Ya'll are making me hungry! I love biscuits and gravy anytime. I use bacon, too.
I never even heard of biscuits and gravy til I got married and moved here. My MIL taught me everything.
I've heard when you mix the sausage it's called s*** on the shingles. Anyone else ever heard that?
