Sausage Gravy

What's your recipe for sausage gravy?

HARDEES. Its 99cents +/- with a bisquit, and you cant make it any better. I anit lying. Their gravy is the BEST.

My wife always cooks sausage then uses that grease to make the gravy. then you break up some sausage and throw it in as well.

Bob Evans. Two Biscuits and a bowl of gravy with bacon and ham on the side. Throw in some home fries and a couple of pancakes. YUM YUM. What do you mean my blood type is grease+ and my chloestrial is over 400? My wife uses black coffee when she makes redeyed gravey.

I brown and crumble my sausage which usually doesnt produce enough grease. You leave the sausage in the pan. Add enough grease or oil to accomodate about 1/4 cup of flour. When I say accomodate I mean you want a paste a little thinner than pudding. I let the sausage/paste mixture bubble for a few minutes, which cooks the flour so you wont have flour tasting gravy. Once Im satisfied the flour is cooked I add my milk. This is where you either fail or succeed at making gravy. I take my mixture off the heat and SLOWLY add milk. You must stir like a madman while adding your milk or it will clump. Add enough milk to get a runny mixture. Put back onto the heat and stir constantly till it boils. Once it begins to boil the gravy should be thick. If not you didnt have enough flour or you added too much milk.

Sorry if you want xact measurements. My grandmother taught me how and there was no "recipie", just many years of practice.

Talk is cheap. :D:D Have you ever had Hardees gravy? Can you send me a sample of your gravy for me to test? Send me the gravy, and if its as good as you claim, I will retract my statement. Until then, Hardees is King. :D

There is this place near me thats makes awesome Sausage Gray. I swear I could drink it from the bowl.

I do it pretty much like Hvac-man. Like he says it's a trial and error thing. The 1st time I ended up with like a 1/2 gallon of gravy. 1st it was too thin so I added more flour. Then it was too thick so I added more milk. Then it was too thick etc.....

Although I like Hardees gravy and biscuits it don't match up to home made.

My wife don't do well with sausage so I make her bacon gravy w/no pepper.

She always used LARD, and flour to make her gravy, she would brown the gravy in cast iron skillet.
Maybe 2 tablespoons of lard
1/2 cup flour
black pepper/salt

Brown it like I mean cook the flour , then add milk and cook sausage in another pan crumbled up and pour gravy into sausage pan and serve with homemade biscuits.

I still remember it , but have never been able to copy it exactly.
