Instructions

  • Note: You can make this wonderful gravy on the grill (using direct and indirect cooking) or stove.
  • Heat a large (cast-iron is best) skillet over lit charcoal (direct heat) or on the stove top over medium-high heat.
  • Add bacon and cook until crispy. Remove to paper towel-lined plate.
  • Add the crumbled sausage and cook until browned, stirring often. Remove to a large bowl. Crumble the bacon and add to the cooked sausage.
  • Add the butter to skillet and melt.
  • Add in the onion and cook until just soft.
  • Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • If cooking on the grill, move the skillet to indirect heat. On the stove, reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Add flour, a little at a time. Mix, and add more flour. Cook until blonde in color. If too thin, add a bit more flour.
  • Add the milk 1/2 cup at a time, mixing. Continue cooking until thickened.
  • Add the chicken bouillon cube and stir.
  • Add in the sage, thyme, and cayenne. Mix well.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste, along with the Worcestershire sauce, parsley, and green onion.
  • Add in the sausage and bacon mixture. Stir and add more milk if the gravy is too thick.
  • Serve over hot biscuits or chicken-fried steak.
