Perfectly creamy and savory white gravy is a country gravy recipe that's been in my family for generations! This delicious white gravy recipe is perfect made with bacon, fresh herbs, and freshly cracked black pepper for tons of flavor. Enjoy this recipe with country-fried steak, chicken tenders, over some garlic mashed potatoes, or poured over hot biscuits fresh out of the oven.
Dice bacon and add to a pan over medium low heat. Let the bacon fat render for 8-10.
Add garlic, thyme, sage leaves, and rosemary and continue to cook until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Melt butter in the pan and then add flour. Gently whisk together constantly until a paste begins to form. Slowly pour in milk and chicken broth and continue to whisk together.
Simmer on low for 5-10 minutes, until desired temperature is reached. Add black pepper and salt.
