You start with the eggs (I am lucky to get these from a local home farmer) and bacon (or you could substitute sausage or make gravy with melted butter if no meat on hand, and if you want to make SOS gravy, use good old ground beef. Making a white sauce and adding sliced ham or dried roast beef is good over bread also). Rest of cooking directions at end of pictures...
Cook up the bacon and fry up any sunny side up eggs ordered at the same time. Drain the bacon grease into a pan and add an equal amount of flour and combine into a paste. Salt and Pepper to taste as you go, add milk ( I used 3 cups, but you will get a feel for how much you like to add and how thick or thin you like your gravy. You can always add more later, and I use at least 5 times milk what the paste proportion is)
Whisk and heat, watch constantly to not let the gravy burn to the bottom of the pan. Once it bubbles a bit, you have a white gravy to put over biscuits or bread.
You may want to cook up scrambled egg orders on the bacon oiled grill before clean up and serving. Serve with salt and pepper available for seasoning.
Not a heart healthy meal, but a great full meal brunch for Saturdays. Don't forget the coffee and OJ! And good ideas to serve with half grapefruits or orange slices to add some vitamins and cut the grease factor some.

Clean up, I run the water while I cook so dishes don't pile up so fast and can soak  |
