It was so easy to make as a side dish. Added imitation beef it turned out Chipped beef like that at Mess halls! Taste was excellent and I sprinkled over rice... Mahalos! for mancave style foods!

Nice and thick and creamy and super simple! Great recipe.
I'd add a little less salt and especially pepper next time, but that's just my preference.
Also, for some of you not-so-great cooks, is heat the butter on a slightly lower setting.

This is my standby recipe for cream gravy. Easy to make and very delicious. I play with seasonings and extra ingredients. Wonderful.

I made this last night 4/6/2019. This recipe has way to much pepper. I made a new batch today 4/7/2019 and only use 1/2 teaspoon of pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt and it was much more edible. I only give it 3 stars because of it being inedible the first time I made it by following the exact recipe.

It really depends on how much Pepper that you like. It is a Black Pepper Gravy so using less is always an option.
