Note

Store leftover gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of milk if it has thickened too much.

For a richer flavor, you can use whole milk instead of reduced-fat milk.

If you prefer a spicier gravy, increase the amount of hot pepper sauce or add a pinch of red pepper flakes.

Ensure the roux (flour and drippings) is cooked for the full 6 minutes to eliminate any raw flour taste.
