This is really good but I have found that when making gravy you're always going to have to do some tweaking to the recipe. The sausage did not produce 2 tablespoons of fat so I added some butter. You have to put in the flour a little at a time for the roux. I added the milk slowly and once it started boiling it got very thick so I had to add a little more milk. It also needed some salt, but don't add salt until you are completely finished because if you add before the gravy reduces, you will be left with a salty mess. It came out very good, Alton never lets me down. I love the simplicity of some of his recipes and they are always delicious.
Need to double ingredents

The taste was very good but this doesn't make 2 1/2 cups, barely 2. So if you make this like I did for a family of 4 i had to triple it.
Good Gravy

Once again an amazing recipe from Alton. My 11-year-old asks me to make this ALL the time! It is great on buttermilk bisuits or even just regular old toast... very tasty!

My first time with a reaux (sp?) was an experience. i thought the whole time that I was doing it wrong but turned out great. I must have bought very lean sausage because I had to add butter...there was almost no fat remaining in the pan. The result was a very thick gravy with tons of sausage that I absolutly love!
You can't beat it

Easy, quick, and delicious. I used Jimmy Dean sausage so had to add 2 TBSP of oil to create the sauce. None of the restaurants hold a candle to this recipe. I served over toasted English muffins. SOS in its finest form!
Great stuff

My son-in-law always orders biscuits and gravy when we go out for breakfast. I wanted to make it for him and it was a raging success...he said it was the best he had ever had. The recipe is easy, quick and tasty. As a traditionally Italian cook, thanks to the Food Network, I have broadened my horizons over the years. Thanks for your help and for adding to my fun! Heads up..if you use a sausage product that says 50% less fat, just add a bit of oil to the drippings to make up for the shortage of existing drippings. Enjoy!
Very Good

Gravy was good, but I would suggest taking it easy on the flour. Our gravy came out VERY thick the first time. Now I use 1/2 to 3/4 of the recommended four. Great with a mix of veggie and pork sausage too.
Awsome!

I used to think that the only way to get a good tasting gravy was using packets until I tried your recipe! It was easy and turned out awsome!

The gravy is delicious and easy to make, but I found that the pork sausage (not lean) I bought did not even give me a full teaspoon of grease, let alone 2 tablespoons. I had to reach back into my fridge for my infamous jar of fat to supplement it. Also, for my tastes, 1 pound of sausage overtakes the gravy - next time I'll probably only put half of it back into the white sauce.
good gravy!

another great way to use this recipe is with frozen sandwich steaks , you break the steaks into little pieces, and use the drippings from the steaks instead of sausage drippings, it's not as spicy as the sausage, but then you can season it any way you want. also, if you don't have flour, 2 heaping tablespoons of corn starch will just do the trick.

The gravy turned out much better than I expected. Reminded me very much of my great grandmothers country gravy.
Biscuits and gravy conquered!

I never knew how easy this meal could be made until now. Even an amatuer cook like myself will be asked to make breakfast. Great taste with the sausage, but it does require a little tweeking. For example; more oil required for the base(rue), adjusting the milk for your desired consistency, and salt and pepper(for me anyway) for taste. Either way, I loved it. Thanks.

Gravy has long been my nemisis. I've even had gravy explode. After watching Alton, I can now make tasty gravy! I can even tweak the recipe a bit. Works great with pork chops.
