Milk gravy is a comforting, rich sauce typically made from a combination of milk, pan drippings (often from fried meat like sausage or chicken), flour, and seasonings such as salt and pepper. Originating in Southern United States cuisine, it is often served over biscuits, mashed potatoes, or fried meats, making it a staple of hearty breakfasts or homestyle meals. While milk provides a source of calcium and some protein, the gravy is generally high in saturated fat and sodium due to the inclusion of pan drippings and added seasonings. Its calorie content can vary based on preparation methods and portion sizes, making moderation key for those mindful of heart health or weight management. Milk gravy’s comforting, classic flavor captures the spirit of Southern cooking, but it is best enjoyed as an occasional indulgence rather than a daily staple.
