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.

Ingredients

  • 6 slices bacon
  • 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 can evaporated milk , 12 fluid ounce
  • 0.5 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  1. 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. 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.
