I agree with Janine...to get the right flavor, fry up some sausage or bacon first, set it aside. Next, pour off the fat. NOW start your gravy... Great starter recipe! Sometimes I add a pinch of red pepper flakes for some kick...try it, you'll like it!

Thanks so much for this vegetarian gravy recipe! It was so yummy and I will definitely make in again! I did take the advice of other reviewers and added a little minced garlic and used (vegan) butter instead of oil. The gravy stiffed up quickly so I added about 2 cups of vegetable stock and simmered everything again.

Oh my goodness! I just made cream gravy from scratch. Yummy! I did add the garlic salt, and chicken boullion just for a little flavor. I was a little nervous about cooking the "roux" for 10 minutes after I completely ruined some gumbo a few years back, but it turned out wonderful! Thanks for the recipe.

My mother-in-law taught me how to make what she called "Breakfast Gravy". She grew up in the south and her southern cooking was awesome. I found this recipe to be very blah. It's actually more of a White Sauce than Country Gravy. The browning of the flour helps a little though. Real Country Gravy needs the drippings from bacon or sausage instead of plain oil. And you must brown the flour otherwise you will just have a white sauce. The browned flour gives the best flavor and color. I love Country Gravy but it's really not very healty. But once in a great while is very good. Yummy.

Very good! I love it! I whisked in some Poultry Gravy powder that tasted great with it.

If you want real country flavor, brown the flour in sausage grease (my favorite) or bacon grease. Also, try it with buttermilk.

I think it would be better using butter, some sausage and bacon. Almost like a white sauce with flavorings added. It definitely needs something for flavor. Salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder would also improve the taste. Maybe even a little chicken bouillon. Lee S
