Old-Time Kentucky Bacon Milk Gravy for Biscuits

I grew up eating this milk gravy made with bacon grease. Everyone has heard of sausage gravy, but it doesn't compare to this. After frying your bacon for breakfast, use the bacon drippings to make true Kentucky biscuit gravy. Is it fattening? Oh yeah, you better believe it — but it's worth it! Pour it over biscuits and serve with crispy bacon and scrambled or fried eggs.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • ¼ cup bacon drippings

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste

  • 4 cups milk

Directions

  1. Heat bacon drippings in a skillet over medium heat; whisk flour into drippings until smooth. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring constantly so it doesn't burn, until roux is caramel brown in color, about 15 minutes. Stir in salt and black pepper.

  2. Add milk, 1/2 cup at a time, whisking until thoroughly blended after each addition. Bring gravy to a simmer, then whisk constantly until thick, smooth, and bubbling.

Chicken and Sausage with Bowties

Chicken and Sausage with Bowties

Necessity is the mother of invention. This recipe was created by me because I had a 1 1/2 hour commute to/from work. I have two teenage boys who require a hearty meal to sustain them for at least 1 hour (maybe less). This recipe can be varied; use pork italian sausage if you like (cook longer), veal or pork cutlets or cubes (be careful to cook pork products thoroughly). Serve as a sandwich, skip the pasta, mix with leftover cooked rice; add small green peas or broccoli. I doubt if anything you try will go wrong. Mangia!

Festive Fall Turkey Salad

Festive Fall Turkey Salad

I created this recipe to use leftover holiday turkey. It's a classic bound salad using mayonnaise and celery, but it also includes fresh cranberries, orange juice and cashews. Although new to our menu, it has become a holiday favorite. My family requests I make my own turkey before Thanksgiving so I can serve this salad as an appetizer at our holiday feast. I hope you will find it as enjoyable as we do. Enjoy it on rolls, in wraps, or as a spread with crackers.

Lamb and Rice Stuffed Grape Leaves

Lamb and Rice Stuffed Grape Leaves

These lamb and rice stuffed grape leaves (dolmas) take some time and effort to put together, so maybe make a double batch. In restaurants these are usually meatless, but I love the lamb in these. No matter what you use, how much rice you use will affect how much liquid you need.

Gorditas

Gorditas

Make gorditas at home with this easy masa dough. These little corn cakes puff up when fried and form a pocket for stuffing with cheese, beans, or just about anything!

Lebanese Mountain Bread

Lebanese Mountain Bread

This Lebanese mountain flatbread brings me back to my early childhood when the Syrian lady across the street from my grandmother made it and always gave us some. It's my first food memory. The bread has a unique texture, gorgeous appearance, and fun-to-make technique.
