Boy this sure does make a lot of gravy! We'll definitely save the rest for tomorrow's breakfast. It's absolutely delicious, simple and it went well with our biscuits. My 14 month old son liked it as well! We didn't use the entire 4 cups of milk that it called for because it was a little thin for my taste but I am certainly going to use this recipe again and again and again! Thanks for sharing!

This was awesome. I diced up some ham and stirred that in to my roux and let it cook for a while before I started adding in the milk. It turned out absolutely delicious on top of some biscuits. It was not too thick or thin. Thanks!

This was great, thanks! We followed the advice of one of the reviewers on the roux and it turned out nicely, thank you. This is a great basic recipe that you can add many things to: sausage drippings, used oil from frying vegetables, etc. We used the oil from frying vegetables route. It turned out nicely, although it had a light brown color instead of the traditional white of country gravy.

very good gravy for not having any meat fat in it. Though the secret to a perfect gravy is equal amounts of fat and flour so I would suggest using the same amounts. Also I added more pepper and some salt. It would have been much to bland for our taste if I hadn't. That is just my preference though. Overall a good gravy.

Excellent Gravy! I thinned mine down a bit and made creamed eggs and toast which was a huge hit! I also made this alongside some fried chicken and mashed potatoes (with more pepper and a touch of garlic in the gravy). Wonderful recipe!

This was good, but did not use oil. I used bacon grease, and butter. I fried for pieces of bacon, crumbled them, and added them to the recipe. It turned out great. Im going to try sausage next time.

This is exactly what I was looking for. A gravy mix that is so easy and so good! I added a teaspoon of garlic and bacon drippings for taste. The proportions were perfect and you can substitute just about any drippings to make it just the way you like it. This was great, thank you!

I have always been terrible at gravy, until I tried this recipe, YAY! My husband loved it and he's definitely a gravy man. I made chicken fried chicken, for dinner, and used the oil from that rather than plain oil. This would also be delish with the drippings from sausage or bacon. Thanks so much... the proportions are spot on and I've always had trouble with that.

This gravy was so easy and my family loved it! I did change it up a bit after reading some of the other reviews. I used butter instead of oil. I think the key to the flavor is coming up with the perfect roux in the beginning. As I mixed the butter and flour I cooked the mixture until it was a nice brown color. The deeper the brown the stronger the flavor. It all depends on your personal taste. Once I had my roux where I wanted it, I added the milk. My gravy was more of a tan color as opposed to a white gravy. I also added 1/2 tsp. of garlic salt.

This is such a good recipe, you can use the measurements as a template for practically any gravy. Of course its always best to use the drippings from whatever you cook instead of just oil but it was perfect and very simple. Im horrible at gravy making and this was delicious!!!

This is a good start thats why I gave it a 3 star rating. You have to use butter, and when you mix the flour with the butter you should let it sit for at least 10 min. or longer to let the butter and flour mix well. Or your gravy will tast like flour.
