HOW TO MAKE COUNTRY GRAVY
This is a beautiful example of classic, very old-school American country cooking. There are a lot of variations, and this is my favorite. This goes on fried chicken, country-fried steak, and biscuits.

Steps:
- Melt butter in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat; cook sausage and bacon in the hot butter, stirring to break the sausage up into small pieces, until sausage is browned and bacon is almost crisp, about 10 minutes. Mix 1/2 cup green onion into sausage mixture and saute until onions are soft, about 3 more minutes.
- Stir flour into meat mixture, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, until thoroughly combined and mixture is pasty. Cook, stirring often, 2 to 3 minutes to remove raw taste of flour.
- Whisk milk into meat mixture, about 1 cup at a time, until combined. Continue to whisk until gravy begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Turn heat to medium-high, bring gravy to a simmer, and season with a pinch of cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low.
- Continue to simmer gravy until flavors have blended and gravy is thick, 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon green onion and a pinch of cayenne pepper for garnish.

Steps:
- cooks out. Continue whisking and letting the butter and flour cook. It'll start smelling buttery and good. You'll see the roux paste get a bit darker in color as it cooks.... That's good! Let it develop to a blond color. This is a simple roux and is the base for country gravy (and other gravies, soups and sauces).
- After the flour and butter roux are done, whisk in milk until smooth. It will start thickening, but continue whisking!
- Once it thickens to a nice thick gravy, it's time to add salt and pepper to season it.

DOWN-HOME COUNTRY BREAKFAST GRAVY
My father's aunt used to make this gravy for breakfast every time we came to visit. It has been a staple in our family for as long as I can remember. I have tweaked it a little to suit my husband's taste but for me it's still the brown breakfast gravy I grew up with. Serve over warm biscuits.
