This is almost the way i grew up eating gravy. U don't need extra grease. U can have bacon gravy, sausage gravy, red eye, whatever. The point is for the gravy to have the flavor of the meat. For a small family I use 1/2 roll of mild country sausage (like Tennessee Pride), brown and crumble in iron skillet, then add "about" 2 large tbsp of flour and a dash of ground black pepper, let that get good and brown (but don't burn it) and turn down your eye to low add milk while stirring. If it's too thick, add more milk and keep stirring on very low heat. You don't want your skillet boiling at any point - you will just end up with a mess. If you want bacon gravy do the same, just heat up 2 tbsp bacon grease and follow the rest. Hope this helps someone.

This was very good however I prefer to add a clove or two of fresh minced garlic for extra flavor. After reviewing other sausage gravy recipes, I also added butter vs. bacon grease because I didn't have bacon grease. I think the butter gave the gravy an unappealing greasy appearance that sat on the top. I will omit the butter/bacon grease all together next time. Who knew, after all these years that I should be adding the flour directly to the hot grease? I typically would shake flour and water in a small canister before adding because I was always told this prevents lumpy gravy. After making this gravy, I discovered that step was unnecessary!

I love biscuits and gravy and this gravy is fantastic. Make sure you add the bacon grease and use good sausage. I tried this recipe with the value brand and it kinda sucked. Jimmy Dean all the way! This recipe isn't as fluffy as IHOP's, but it tastes so much better! Oh, and I sometimes double the milk to make more gravy and it still tastes great!

AWESOME GRAVY!!! My husband (who is a sausage gravy snob) said this is the BEST sausage gravy he has ever tasted! Not too salty, not too greasy, just perfect! The second time I made it I used maple flavored sausage, and it was out of this world!!!! Thank you for sharing!

I loved this! I made this for my husband, my 15 yr old son, and his two friends. They all came back for seconds and thirds! I used Jimmy Dean sausage which left almost no grease, so the bacon grease was a must. Also, I added a little more flour because I like a thicker gravy. At the end I felt it needed more flavor (maybe because of the lack of sausage grease, I don't know), so I added some seasoning salt along with fresh ground black pepper. The seasoning salt was the trick. It tasted great! To reheat, just put it back in a pan, add a little milk or cream, and stir. Thanks for such a great recipe!

Just the taste I had been looking for. The bacon grease really gave it a great smell and taste, and the consistency turned out perfect. This is the best homemade sausage gravy I have ever had.

I was surprised how easy this was to make. My husband was impressed, which is all I ask for! He said it could use a little more pepper next time. I did not add the extra grease and we have extra lean sausage and it was still great.

I made this following the recipe exactly. It came out great. I actually needed the bacon grease because my sausage wasn't very fatty (I used sage pork sausage from local farm - antibiotic free, etc.) But man, it turned out great. My husband loved it, I loved it. I will make this again. yum. thanks. (Next time I might just crumble that bacon up and throw it on in as well... mmmmmm.... bacon)

This is our new "kick off special" I make it every Sunday for the one o'clock game. It makes a huge batch, is very easy and a huge crowd pleaser over biscuits. I'd give it the extra stars but it does have a fall back (all the guys glued to my couch). Don't be afraid of adding little hot sauce or cayenne ;)

This is a great sausage gravy recipe. The key, I think, is to brown up the flour with the grease. Great recipe!!

This is just like the sausage gravy recipe I learned from my friend's grandmother when I was a kid. My mother-in-law also makes it this way. It's a family tradition. Now that I have this recipe, I no longer have to guess at the milk to flour ratio!!!! Thank you, Rene!

This recipe was very easy to make. My fiance made this and it was his first batch of gravy that he has ever made. I was not at home when he made it. I had left the recipe up on the computer(after making big daddys biscuits) and by the time I came home, wahlah! He had it made! Very simple, very good. Thank you!

I used spicy sausage, 1 tbsp butter in place of the bacon grease and added 1/4 tsp curry powder to the recipe. Since I made this for a party for work, I have been told that all other sausage and gravy pales in comparision.
