Country gravy, a classic comfort food staple, is a smooth, creamy sauce known for its rich and hearty flavor. Traditionally associated with Southern U.S. cuisine, it’s made primarily from pan drippings, flour, milk, butter, and seasonings like black pepper. Often paired with biscuits, chicken-fried steak, or mashed potatoes, this versatile gravy brings a homespun touch to a variety of dishes. Nutritionally, country gravy is high in calories and fat due to its dairy and butter content, making it a less health-conscious option when consumed in large quantities. However, it contains a modest amount of calcium from the milk base. Variations of the recipe can incorporate milk alternatives or reduced-fat versions for a lighter option. While its rich, indulgent flavor is undeniably satisfying, moderation is key to enjoying this comfort food favorite without overloading on saturated fats and sodium.
