EASY...

This was my first homemade white gravy. It was easy for me to do. I normally just buy the mix and cheat. NOT ANYMORE! Thanks for a easy and great recipe.




Better than the greasy spoon

I've always ordered B & G when I go out for breakfast - - even if I know it's going to be too salty. This wins any greasy spoon, hands down. Not too salty and nice & thick. I made it for dinner with a fried egg and a green salad w/ lemon/garlic/evoo dressing. Perfect!




even better than I thought

I'm not much of a cook and it turned out really well. I added a little too much flour and it thickened up too much, but that was my doing and it still tasted good.

This recipe is a classic and is hard to mess up. I prefer it spicier so, I always add a lot of crushed red pepper.




A little more kick

Super easy to make and it tastes great! But for people like me who enjoy a tad more heat or kick I added a teaspoon of ground cayenne pepper. The added flavor was really good and was not too hot for most.




good gravy

I've never made gravy before and couldn't believe how simple it is. I used only 8oz of sausage and just threw the flour on top of the sausage and then whisked in the milk. Less of a hassle that way and was done in under ten minutes. I added lots of pepper and even a little salt. Next time I'll use spicy sausage and omit the need for salt. I cheated and used a boxed mix for the biscuits.




Easy, Quick, Good

Had a taste for this one Sunday morning. Having never made either biscuits or gravy before this recipe was easy and the taste was spot on what I recall having in Tennessee.

These biscuits are perfect. I added a little more flour and black pepper to the gravy. My family would eat this every morning if I wasn't so concerned about their hearts!!

I made this on a camping trip with my Boy Scout troop for breakfast one morning. It went over extremely well, and it was so simple that I was able to cook everything in dutch ovens! Unfortunately, we couldn't find our flour, so we used Krusty's pancake mix. It still tasted wonderful, though.




yup that's good gravy

I have been making white sausage gravey from a mix for the last 10 years. This was so easy to make that I am a convert. I will never buy a white gravey mix again! I will cut the amount of sausage down to half next time I make it because we thought it was too much.




Loved It!

User: Melissa from Spring Hill, FL    User Rating:
Like others, I made a few modifications to this recipe. I used 4-5 tablespoons of flour and added it directly to the pan without removing the sausage. I also used 16 ounces of mild sausage instead of 12. Still, there wasn't much in the way of drippings, so I added about 2 tablespoons of butter before adding the flour. After adding the milk, I brought the gravy up to a boil, then reduced to a simmer for just a few minutes. I added a generous helping of black pepper and it was delicious. Perhaps the best sausage gravy I have ever had. My husband agreed. I used canned buttermilk biscuits rather than make my own, but it was still wonderful. This recipe will definitely go into heavy rotation at my house!

The gravy was thin and I thought lacked taste but my girlfriend enjoyed the gravy. Added more flour to thicken, you also have to add more pepper.

this was so easy to make and so yummy. I used Jimmy Dean Sage sausage for this. My only issue was that the sausage was quite lean and there was not much fat in the pan. I put the milk in first and then whisked in the flour. Worked out fine!

I usually buy those packets of gravy mix and add my sausage to it, but I won't do that anymore. This recipe was so easy to make and it was perfect. It won my picky husband over on the first bite! We eat this at least twice a month for sunday breakfast!

The gravy was a little bland, so I added garlic, salt, pepper, and some crushed red pepper flakes to it, also it needed about another 1 1/2 ts of flour. the biscuits turned out great.

I used Jimmy Dean "hot" sausage and doubled the gravy. I agree with others that thought the sausage to gravy ratio would have been off kilter otherwise. :-) I was lazy and used store bought bisquits so I can't rate the bisquit recipe that is included.

I didnt make the biscuits used bisquick biscuits. Maybe it was the type of sausage I bought (bob evans) but there was not enough fat to mix with the flour. I also had to add another tbsp of flour to thicken it.




Excellent and easy.

I'm just learning to cook at age 60, since my wife became disabled. I've often had sauge gravy in restaurants, but never like this! It was easy & it was fabulous. Big chucks of gravy everwhere in very tasty sauce. Restuarants serve milk gravy with pepper and few sausage morsels tossed in. This is the real deal!
