Description

Brown gravy with bits of savory bacon tastes great served over warm biscuits for a hearty Southern breakfast.

Ingredients

6 slices bacon
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons salted butter
1 tablespoon white sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
salt to taste

Directions

1 Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and crumble when cool enough to handle.
2 Add flour to the bacon grease and stir until a paste forms. Cook and stir until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Gradually add evaporated milk and milk, stirring frequently. Add butter, sugar, pepper, and salt; continue to cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in crumbled bacon and serve.
