Return gravy to a boil and boil until slightly thickened, usually 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and enjoy!

Tips and Tricks

*Freshly ground pepper will have a lot more flavor, but if you only have pre-ground pepper, start with 1 ½ tsp, then add more to taste.
Storing leftovers: Keep leftover gravy refrigerated in an airtight container. Use within 4 days. You can also freeze this gravy in a freezer-safe container for at least 3 months.
Reheating: I recommend reheating leftovers in a small saucepan- stirring until warm. You can also reheat in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until it is warm throughout.
Use this gravy on sweet potato biscuits, over chicken strips, or for sour cream mashed potatoes!
