Gravy:

Drain the grease from the pan, add in:

3 T. bacon grease
1 T. butter
When the bacon grease and butter have melted, add
4 T. flour
1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper
Stir together till well combined and cook for 1 minute to cook the flour. Next you will quickly stir in...

When the gravy starts to thicken you may want to add a little more milk to thin out. Once it has reached your desired consistency, remove from heat.
