Ingredients
1/4 cup bacon grease
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups whole milk
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper, plus more to taste
Kosher salt to taste
Directions
Heat the bacon grease in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Whisk in the flour, stirring constantly for about 1 minute to create a smooth roux. This base will thicken your gravy.
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Bring the gravy to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in the coarsely ground black pepper. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper as desired.
Serve warm alongside your favorite proteins or biscuits.
