The Appalachian classic makes something great out of almost nothing.
By
A beloved Appalachian recipe, bulldog gravy is rich, slightly smoky, but also super comforting. The consistency of the gravy is important—it is thick but still pourable, and it doesn’t have any of the bits of a traditional sausage or sawmill gravy. The final gravy is stick-to-your-ribs good, and when served over biscuits, it is one of the most comforting breakfasts you can have, a Southern classic for good reason!
