Bacon Gravy

Made some bacon gravy and served it over biscuits.
Here's the recipe I use.

Bacon Gravy

6 slices bacon
2 tablespoons bacon grease
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
salt and pepper to taste

1. Preheat cast iron skillet to medium-hi. Place 6 slices of bacon in the skillet and cook until just crispy.
2. Remove bacon from skillet and drain; set aside. Leave 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease in skillet. If there's not enough bacon grease, add some butter, margarine or oil to make 2 Tbs.
3. Add flour to hot bacon grease, and whisk together. Cook for about a minute without burning the flour.
4. Add milk; whisk together, make sure to stir out all lumps. Turn down heat to medium.
5. Meanwhile, crumble bacon and add to gravy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Heat until bubbling. Simmer for 5-10 minutes, until gravy starts to thicken and gravy if full of bacon flavor. Remove from heat.
7. Serve over biscuits, buttered toast or mashed potatoes.

How do you make bacon gravy?

My recipe is close, except I add sausage, or a crumbled fatty to the gravy, to give it a little "depth"!

Sounds good I'll have to give it a try. Thanks

I'll have to try browning the flour more. Adding crumbled sausage also sounds good. Thanks!

One day I was out of bacon but wanted bacon gravy. I used butter in place of the bacon grease.
For the crumbled bacon I used 2 tablespoons of imitation bacon bits.

Well I made the gravy. It didn't taste too bad. Not as good as real bacon gravy, though. But the strangest thing
was the bacon gravy turned out LIGHT PINK! The coloring from the imitation bacon bits came out and colored the whole
mess of gravy.
