Chop 1/2 cup of green onions, using only the white parts.

Add green onions to the skillet and cook until meat is fully cooked.

Sprinkle flour into the pan to create a pasty mixture and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Gradually add 1 cup of cold milk in three additions, stirring well after each addition.

Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer, adding cayenne, black pepper, and salt to taste.

Simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until gravy thickens.

Adjust thickness by adding more milk if too thick or cooking longer if too thin.
