There’s nothing as good as Homemade Sausage Gravy and its really simple to make! A great weekend breakfast and even an easy weeknight supper!
I LOVE creamy sausage gravy and biscuits! Throw a couple of over-easy eggs on top and I don’t care what time of the day it is, if it’s in front of me it’s gone!
We have the cutest little pan for eggs, it makes them perfectly round and makes me feel all professional when I make them!
Sausage Gravy is super simple to make, if I can you can!
I love to use my cast iron skillet, but any skillet big enough to hold a pound of sausage and 2 cups of milk will work perfectly! I’ll be honest, I thought everyone made homemade gravy……..and figured everyone had their own method!
This is mine – I even took step by step pictures because – well I just did!
Fry up a pound of your favorite breakfast sausage!
Now don’t get all excited and drain the fat off – fat is flavor people! We want that fat in there to help flavor that gravy!
A good gravy is a 2:2:1 ratio – 2 butter, 2 flour, 1 liquid!
We are going to use 2 cups of milk, so drop in 4 Tablespoons of butter and 4 Tablespoons of flour!
Melt that butter and flour and coat that sausage!
Like This!
Now add your 2 cups of milk and a teaspoon of chicken base or bullion – whichever you use!
And stir…..and stir……and stir!
Till the gravy starts to thicken and bubbles and coats the back of the spoon!
and WOOLAH

I’m not gonna lie – I buy the frozen Pillsbury biscuits……I mean I just made homemade gravy, like anyone cares that I didn’t make the biscuits from scratch!

Just looking for the biscuit recipe to complement the gravy. Thank you.
Leave out the chicken base and add pepper to the sausage. More gooder.
I wait to try this, but need a good biscuit recipe!
I can’t wait to try this, I just need a good biscuit recipe.
I use the Jimmy Dean sausage with sage and then add 1 tsp of sage to that. It’s yummy.
You must love sage! That’s the great thing about a recipe like this you can make it all yours!
Oh my gosh I grew up on a farm and there’s nothing betterthan waking up to a big splatter of homemade buttermilk biscuits and a bowl of homemade sausage gravy 😋
Add lots of fresh ground black pepper and some garlic powder, seasoned salt and a couple of dashes of a smoked hot sauce. That makes a really good Sausage gravy.
