A creamy pepper gravy that is sure to please everyone! This white sauce goes great on fries, mashed potatoes, and meats. If you are wary of adding all of the pepper, add a teaspoon at a time and taste. I like mine really peppery, so I always use about 2 tablespoons. My mother doesn't like it so peppery, so she tends to use 1 or 1 1/2 tablespoons. The best part about this recipe is that you can adjust the spice to your liking.
