This is always a winner in our house. The gravy is not a really thick gravy, but the taste more than makes up for it. Serve over biscuits or toast.
This was very easy and had wonderful flavor. Because I used a quality sausage (Johnsonville) there was no need to drain and discard the grease as it was perfect for the amount of flour. We enjoyed it.
Read MoreI make sausage gravy at least once a week for my big crew. I have a lot of big eaters so I have to double the recipe. I ALWAYS chop up one yellow onion to add to the sausage while browning. Next, I drain some of the grease off and add 2-3 TBLS bacon grease from my fridge. Then, when nobody's looking I finely chop one whole green bell pepper in my mini chopper and throw that in there while the whole batch is simmering on the stove. I also use half whole milk and half Half n Half for a creamier consistency. Or in a pinch, I will use canned evaporated milk, (but not the sweet stuff). In cooking it's very thick like cream but about half the calories. Once it simmers and thickens up you cannot see the green pepper. My kids would gag if they knew that was in there, haha! But it adds an unidentified layer of flavor you will get many compliments on, even if you don't like green pepper like me. Serve over freshly made biscuits like Grands and top with a handful of shredded cheddar cheese. Delightful!

Yummy! We prefer a thicker gravy so the only change I made was to reduce the milk to 3 cups and the flour to 1/3 cup. Tasted wonderful.
I had never made sausage gravy before, but my bf asked me to make it for him. He went crazy over this.Super easy to make too!
This turned out being perfect! Yum! Better than even the top rated gravy recipe on All Recipes.
I've made this many times now. My son teenage asked if it was from a packet, I said "no". He said to "Be sure not to lose this recipe". No alterations needed. For a thicker gravy just simmer a little longer.
This was fantastic according to my family (I couldn't taste it b/c I made it for everyone when I had a cold). We normally use the packet stuff and I wanted to try to make it from scratch. I did add considerably more pepper (we like it very peppery), a couple shakes of garlic salt, and a smidge more Worcestershire. It thickened up perfectly and made quite a bit. I love that I can make it using ingredients that I usually have on hand. Definitely a keeper, I added it to my recipe box:)
My first attempt at making my own sausage gravy (with Bisquick biscuits). Boy did I choose the Right recipe!! I made 1/2 the amount for dinner and WOW, was it delicious!! Better than any restaurant and super easy! I can't wait to make it again!!
This was fantastic! We will make it again...only thing was I used turkey breakfast sausage, no fat! Added a couple tablespoons from the tub of bacon fat we keep in the refrigerator and the family all loved it!
I gave it only 4 stars because it is too thin following the original recipe. Instead of 4 cups of regular milk, I used 3 cups of 2% and 1 cup half & half. This helped thicken the gravy and made it creamier. Otherwise, the flavoring was very good and everyone enjoyed it.
Great recipe! First try at making it and it came out perfect. The only changes I made were I added more bullion (I used a paste called Better than Bullion) and more pepper and pinch of salt. Oh and I used less milk; 3 cups. It turned out great!
it was awesome. I used 2 pounds of bulk sausage, one regular and one spicy. It turned out perfect, a bit salty but my family loved it!!!!
Made a 1/2 recipe of this for dinner tonight...DELICIOUS! Perfectly seasoned and very flavorful...a definite keeper~YUM! Thanks for sharing. :)
super easy and hubby approved, but next time I'll definitely cut recipe in half
So much better than the gravy I've been making for 40yrs. I used a little less milk. My grandson wants me to make biscuits & gravy again tomorrow. Excellent recipe.
We always make a double batch due to size of the household. 1 lb spicy breakfast sausage (we use old Tennessee brand) and 1 lb mild. Creates a nice warmth. With fresh biscuits this goes fast.

Easy and good, I made a half recipe and omitted the salt and added cayenne pepper.
Loved it, I switched out 1/2 cup of milk for 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream and it made the texture thicker
I make sausage gravy in my house fairly often. To make it a complete one pan meal, I add a bag of frozen mixed vegetables while it is simmering.
It was good, my family really likes it but it was a bit salty and have to much of a beef bouillon flavor. Biscuit with sausage gravy was a staple at our house growing up and this sausage gravy was good but does not replace the traditional sausage gravy.
We liked it and will make again. Made it as written. Used 1% milk. Did add 1 tblsp bacon fat bc my sausage was lean...made biscuits with White Lily flour and sifted it. Thanks for a great simple recipe!
This is an excellent gravy recipe! For a silkier texture, use whole milk and make it the night before and gently reheat for serving. We like heat, so I add a big pinch of red pepper flakes.
I never made or ate biscuits with sausage garvey. Wonderful recipe. I used turkey sausage and added extra sage from my garden. I added more Worcestershire sauce, black pepper and salt to give the dish more flavor.
I have made sausage gravy like this for many years but without the beef broth and Worcestershire. These two additions really add to the depth of flavor. I also like thicker gravy so added only 3 cups of milk
super easy and hubby approved, but next time I'll definitely cut recipe in half
Great recipe! I used 3 cups milk to have a thicker gravy and had bullion cubes so used 2 feeling like it was about a tablespoon. Another said the recipe was salty and knowing how salty the sausage was thought 2 bullion cubes would be salty enough. It did need more salt. I think 1 bullion cube per cup of milk will be perfect. Otherwise, great flavor! Thank you!
My husband and I love this gravy! I’ve made it several times exact to the recipe and it is super easy and most delicious!
This was super easy to make. The flavor good. I like my gravy a little thicker next time I may add a little less milk and a splash of hot sauce. Great on biscuits.
Really good, never thought to add boullion before and it made a nice addition and rounded out the flavor really well. I didn't need quite so much sauce so I only used 2 cups of milk and needed to adjust the worcestershire accordingly but we really enjoyed this and will definately make it again. Thank you for sharing the recipe with us Tami.
