Country Style Gravy

It is a complete understatement that this is the best gravy for biscuits and gravy ever. We both really, really enjoyed it.


The original recipe came from the BBQ Pit Boys. They have some fantastic grilling ideas and recipes. Check them out!

I made this over charcoal on my new Weber Performer grill. I just prepped everything and took it outside.


Nothing beats cooking outside.
