Very easy to make, nice and creamy! I didn't have any bacon so I used butter instead. The four of us at it up quick.

Outstanding! I used 1 can evaporated milk mixed with an equal amount of water instead of regular milk for a "richer" taste. Also, use grease from smokey bacon for added flavor and add some of the crumbled up bacon to the gravy as well. I increased the black pepper slightly. Many have said it is the best sausage gravy they have ever had, I know it is a keeper for me.

This was really good. I used butter instead of bacon drippings as one reviewer suggested and it turned out great, though I'd like to see what difference the bacon makes. It definietly made a lot of gravy...my boyfriend and I hardly made a dent!

Absolutely wonderful!!!! My sister from down south is staying with me and she said it taste like her favorite restaurant's biscuits and gravy. The only change i made is i added a half box of maple breakfast sausage but everything else remained the same. Will make again soon.

Very Yummy gravy. I followed the recipe as is and it came out great. Next time I will try a spicy or maple flavored sausage with this. Made this with J.P.'s Big Daddy biscuits. Soooooo good. I always wanted to make my own biscuits and gravy and now i have found the perfect combo.

Being raised on a farm, I grew up on sausage gravy like this, and the only thing I do differently is sometimes I replace 1/4 cup milk with 1/4 cup evaporated milk. It gives the gravy a smoother texture and a nice body to it. If you add butter instead of bacon grease, use BUTTER not margarine. It makes it so much richer tasting, but the bacon grease really is the best for flavoring.

This is an excellent, tasty recipe. I made it for the first time three years ago for our family Christmas breakfast and it was an instant hit. Now it's part of our yearly menu. I found that at times I have to add more salt, depending on where I bought the sausage, but that can easily be tested by the cook. It works well making it a couple of hours ahead of time and putting it in a crockpot until ready to serve.

It was a hit in my family. I had to use butter for the bacon grease, but it was still tasty. I also took an earlier tip and added some ground sage. So yummy. All 3 picky kids ate it. No leftovers tho. :( I would need to make more if we just had even an older kid. (my kids 7,4,2)

Great flavor. It was easy to do and now I cant get enough. I have ordered many biscuits and sausage gravy plates with failure. This recipe is now a weekend must have and it is easy and doesnt take a spice rack to make. Thanks YOU for this recipe.

I am the original poster of this recipe, (long ago lost my password and username ID, so am now using this one) and I must say I am overwhelmed (but not surpised) by all the great reviews! This truly is the very best recipe there is, and it is so easy! A few tips for you, though. The salt and pepper amounts I listed in this recipe are only a guide...certainly, you can adjust them to your own taste. Also, I traditionally use Jimmy Dean sage sausage to make this, but the Maple flavor also makes it delicious. One last thing...to truly get the taste of the "South" be sure to pass the Tabasco sauce! But use it sparingly if your taste buds are faint of heart! Enjoy, and thanks for so many wnoderful comments!

Best sausage gravy I have ever tasted..including restuarants. Bacon grease is the key, and I used hot sausage because we love it spicy.

I have been making this recipe for 5 years now and it is still the best one. I love this recipe. It is so, so good. I wouldn't change anything and I will not use any other sausage gravy recipe. I love to cook and I only keep the really good ones. This is for sure a keeper. Thank you so much.

Keep in mind that I was going to give this a 3, but my sister thought it was pretty good and my dog devoured all the leftovers, so 4 it is. Anyhow, I thought this was whatever. I actually LOVE southern food, but this one was a disappointment. I made this as directed and even when it was simmering, I threw in the bacon I cooked and let it simmer in it for added flavor. Anyhow, it was mediocre. Second time I made this, I used hot sausage, no bacon or it's dripping and cooked this the fast way (cooked sausage over skillet, added milk/flour in the skillet and stirred virgorously). I actually thought the second one tasted better. Anyhow, I'm not making this again.
