Homemade sausage gravy is comfort food at it’s best! This sausage gravy is loaded with spicy sausage and delicious flavor. The creaminess of the gravy, loaded with the sausage, makes for an amazing breakfast meal spooned over warm, tasty biscuits.
Easy Sausage Gravy
Growing up and learning to cook, making gravy seemed so hard but it’s super easy. I’m serious, making homemade sausage gravy is super simple. Basically, fry up the sausage, add butter (a new addition to my gravy), sprinkle the sausage with flour, add milk and seasoning and that’s it. Seem simple enough? It really is that simple and the taste is amazing.
Whenever I make homemade sausage gravy I always double the recipe. We absolutely LOVE sausage gravy and having leftovers for another meal is why I always cook such large amounts. If you are one who only needs a small amount, just divide the recipe accordingly, and if you need more for a large group, double the recipe and you should have plenty.
