I grew up between southeastern Virginia and the Lowcountry of South Carolina and if there is one thing I love, it’s Southern comfort food. I love things just smothered in yummy gravy, like this homemade sausage gravy perfect for making biscuits and gravy.
What is Sausage Gravy?
Sausage Gravy is usually served with Biscuits and Gravy. It’s a simple 3-ingredient recipe that takes just 15 minutes to make. I usually make this gravy when we have our breakfast for dinner nights. It’s perfect over homemade drop biscuits with eggs on the side. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!
How to Make Sausage Gravy for Biscuits and Gravy
This recipe is SO easy!
- Brown the pork sausage in a large skillet, mashing into small pieces as you cook.
- Add flour to the meat and stir to coat.
- Pour in milk stirring continuously until it thickens. Boom! Done!
Can I Make Sausage Gravy Ahead of Time?
It is possible to make this sausage gravy ahead of time if necessary, although for the best taste I recommend eating it right after preparation.
To make ahead of time, allow the sausage gravy to cool then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to three days. Reheat in the microwave or over medium-low heat on the stovetop, stirring often.
What to Eat with Sausage Gravy
For biscuits and gravy, serve this sausage gravy over my easy homemade drop biscuit recipe. This is also great served over homemade Texas toast! I’ve also served it over hash browns, grits, and in breakfast bowls!
Sausage Gravy Tips
- Change the flavor of the sausage gravy by varying the sausage-you can use sage, spicy, etc.
- You can make this sausage gravy with any kind of milk but the higher the fat content (whole milk), the creamier the end result.
- This recipe is easy, but do not neglect the instructions to stir constantly! You don’t want to burn the gravy.
- If making biscuits and gravy from scratch, I recommend starting with the homemade drop biscuits, then making the gravy as the biscuits are baking in the oven.
