Looks great! Sadly, I would be the only one that would eat it. I never add as much pepper as I would like to my sausage gravy during cooking. I add it to my serving.

This stuff is wonderful!
It can turn a skimpy meal into a feast!
My grandmother used to make it in the winter time using salt pork.
We always had it served over baked potatoes.
Life was so much nicer before calories and cholesterol were invented!

mmmm, gravy 
If I am making this using fresh made bacon drippings I'll crumble the bacon and add it back in after the gravy thickens. It makes for a nice hearty gravy.

Isn't this the same starting point used to make sausage gravy?

Thanks :) I love pepper sauce! I sometimes make it with brined green peppercorns.
Love a good steak with pepper gravy!
