but as you keep stirring it will thicken up.
Once it's as thick as you want add cooked sausage and pepper.
Serve on hot biscuits.
This is how my mom and grandma made it except they used lard!
You can substitute chopped up chip beef instead of sausage to make chip beef gravy!
NOTE:I don't measure how much butter, milk, and flour I use. I just dump it in to get the consistency I want so you can add more or less. the above makes about 2 to 3 servings.

Same here. It's an eye thing-To Sausage grease add enough flour to make a thick roux. Slowly add milk, stirring until you reach the consistency you want. Be careful not to add too much milk. Remember gravy will thicken as it stands so err to the loose side. Salt and Pepper to taste.
NEVER add flour if it's too loose. You will just make flour lumps.
Of course, it's always best to make in a cast iron skillet.
