I wish I could say that I made this meal, but I didn't! It's from one of our long time favorite diners here in Bend the Pilot Butte Drive-in. Every meal there is huge. Both of the plates on the tray were my meal! Also home of the 18 oz burger!
 
 
Hey Dirt

How do you make your white gravy??  I've tried for years to come up with a good recipie and failed miserably (god I wish I could spell)

Gary I use a simple recipe for white gravy:

Seasoned pork sausage ( http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/73350/country-style-breakfast-sausage )

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste


Directions

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage, break it up with a wooden spoon, and cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned and cooked through, about 7 minutes.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage to a bowl, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet. Whisk the flour into the fat and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. While whisking, pour the milk into the skillet and bring the gravy to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer gently for 2 minutes. Stir in the sausage and season with pepper.

If you don't have enough rendered fat, add butter to make the roux.

 
 
People measure stuff to make gravy? Jk. Gravy based meals were a staple for my Grandmother (she was feeding 10 people nightly), and Mom taught me gravy as she was taught. 

I believe I answered his new thread concurrently with your post. Your info is probably better for someone that doesn't instinctively make gravy. *sheepish

I will add that a basic roux should be required knowledge for every human before they leave the 'nest'. Cheese sauce, gravy, soups/stews...you want it thickened, it's the most delicious way to go! lol
 
C'mon man!,, i'll do a man vs food with you. I could knock that whole thing off and a side of grits and maybe a couple flapjacks as well
As good as it looks I don't care how full I get
 
It AINT white gravy w/o bacon grease!
 
 
It AINT white gravy w/o bacon grease!
I dunno. To me, as long as it is animal-fat or butter based, it's all gravy!!! :D <--1 pun, one oxymoron lol

My big issue with the 'bacon fat' gravy is that the kids have eaten all the darned bacon, and then the gravy doesn't get chunks of meat in it! Who wants smooth gravy??? (By kids, I probably mean me...). lol

*makes note in general purpose notebook: Note to wife: Cook bacon LAST!!! rofl
