2C milk
2T butter
3T flour

heat milk to boiling.

Melt butter on low heat in heavy sauce pan. Add flour Stir it on the bottom for one minute.

Get a wire whip, take pan off heat, pour in boiling milk while stirring vigorously with whip.

Put back on medium high heat and bring to boil while stirring with whip, boil for one minute.

Add salt/pepper to taste.


Worked flawlessly, no lumps, just a smooth creamy sauce.

Maybe I'm really tired, but it seems like you left the flour out of your directions.

Fry 1/3lb sausage.
Remove cooked sausage. Keep rendered fat in pan.
Follow the directions above except with a dab more flour.
Crumble and add the sausage back into the pan. Dash of salt & pepper.
Spoon this awesome sausage gravy over some biscuits.

I love sausage and biscuits.

Let the flour get a little brown to add a nutty flavor.

Let it get black and you have a cajun roux.

I cannot tell you how many times we had that for breakfast when I was a kid - chipped beef and gravy over toast.

was it actually called chipped beef and gravy over toast, or did you use a more informal name for it?

I think when we actually said the name we said "with" instead of "over". That is the informal name. I'm not sure if it has a more formal name. It was really just a description of the food.

Or did you mean SOS? My mom would've beat the snot out of us if we had cursed back then.

i've heard it called a couple of things

creamed chipped beef

SOS = s$%t on a shingle

.... the chipped beef is only corned beef that has been chopped up real small
