Help me to understand, what is sausage gravy?

This old time New Englander would like to know! I make great gravy with a beef, turkey, chicken.I even tried my hand at gravy after a pork roast.

How do you make anything that tastes like gravy from what little drippings are generated from cooking sausage.

1. as I understand it...

...from watching people make it on food network, the bulk sausage is fried up very fine and lightly browned, the seasonings and flour and milk are added and it is cooked to thicken. There's ground sausage in the gravy.

3. You are correct. I always add the flour to the cooked, crumbled sausage and stir and cook for a few minutes before adding the milk. That gets rid of the raw flour taste. I always taste it before seasoning it since the amount of seasoning needed will vary according to the sausage you use. Measurements are pretty flexible, depending on how thick you like your gravy.

2. Biscuits and gravy for an old-fashioned farm breakfast is made with sausage gravy. I make a turkey bulk sausage for patties, fry that up (crumbled), and then a cream gravy with that. YUMMY, sticks to your ribs, great in cold weather to start the day!!

This isn't my recipe, but it's a start for you.

4. Add flour to either crumbled, partially cooked sausage or to the pan drippings to make a roux, cook without allowing it to darken, then add milk and lots of black pepper.

That's sausage gravy.

The classic form is made with the sausage crumbles and served over fresh baking powder biscuits. The not so classic form is served with the sausage patty on a biscuit and gravy on top.

5. I'm clearly of Yankee stock -- LOL

I had to learn about sausage gravy from watching the food network. Bless my Connecticut grandmother's heart, but she never made it that I know of.

Dude.  We have three spices up here: salt, pepper, and ketchup.

That being said, biscuits and gravy is attempted up here, but not very successfully.  I usually just stick to mine--a pound of Jimmy Dean Spicy browned, then mixed with a package of the store-bought stuff.  Tastes fine to me.

I'm from Illinois but I've known how to make it for a long time. My dad showed me, and he was raised on a farm with lots of siblings. Biscuits and gravy is a great way to stretch out the food while still filling the belly.  I did have to show my wife how to make it, she's from upstate New York.

Standard Heartland country fare too.  Fry up a pound of crumbled sausage, stir in half a cup of flour until the grease is soaked up and the flour lumps are gone, then switch to a simmer and add two cups of milk, keep your eye on it and stir until it thickens to your taste.  What kind of misbegotten, ignorant life do you have to have led to have grown up without ever being exposed to good old SOS?

I'm not a fan of either frozen entrees or Bob Evans, but BE puts out a microwaveable biscuits and sausage gravy that's actually quite good. The gravy has a good sausage taste and surprisingly the biscuits, even though they're microwaved, are fluffy and tender.

When I lived in Ohio we went to Bob Evans restaurants and got the real thing, fresh.

Darling....we sooooo have to chat!

As a midwest girl, I had never had sausage gravy.

I have learned to make sausage gravy that born and bred Southerners love....and from scratch!

It is incredibly easy...once you do it right.

When I first started making gravy...any kind...you could have used that crap for wallpaper paste...and my biscuits and cinnamon rolls could have been used for hockey pucks.... :bawl:

Yes! Bob Evans microwaveable sausage gravy is excellent! I'm sure you can make it just as good from scratch, but why?
