how do you make sausage gravy?

Answer 1

fry up some sausage.remove from pan but keep the grease in.ad flour until it's pretty thick,kind of like making a rue.once this is done add milk a little at a time until you get the right consistency you want.throw the sausage back in and presto.sausage gravy.if you don't have enough grease you can add a bit of veggie oil.but i wouldn't add to much because it takes away from the flavor.good luck.it's a trial and error kind of thing

Answer 2

Makes 2 Cups

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Crumble the sausage into the pan and sauté, stirring frequently with a wooden spoon and breaking up the sausage as it cooks golden brown and thoroughly cooked, about 5 minutes. Transfer the sausage from the pan to a colander set in a bowl and let it drain.

Add the vegetable oil and the flour to the same pan used to cook the sausage. Stir to blend and cook over medium heat, stirring well to scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is a pale golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add the milk, whisking constantly to remove any lumps.

Simmer over low heat, stirring frequently, until the gravy is thickened, about 20 minutes. Taste the gravy and add salt and pepper to taste. If the gravy is too thick, thin it a little additional milk; use only enough to get a pourable consistency. Return the cooked sausage to the gravy. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.

Answer 3

brown sausage in a skillet. Remove gravy from the skillet and put aside. Drain the excess grease. save drippings.
For two cups of gravy.
Mix 1/4 cup sausage drippings and 1/4 cup flour in skillet. add salt and pepper to flour mixture. Turn flame on high to heat mixture through, then put flame on low. Add 2 cups of milk. Simmer gravy over low heat. Stirring constantly. Once the gravy begins to bubble it begins to thicken. Keep stirring until the gravy reaches the desired thickness. (It will continue to thicken a little after it is removed from the heat so don't overdo it.)
To make more gravy just increase the ingredients i.e. 4 cups is 1/2 cup both flour and drippings and 4 cups of milk. If you don't have enough sausage drippings bacon drippings can be added to make the desired amount.When the gravy is almost done pour the sausage into the gravy. Enjoy.

Answer 4

It works really well in an iron skillet, but any plain metal skillet will work. I don't usually use one with a teflon type finish. Buy whatever type of pan sausage,Jimmy Dean or store brand in the roll. Cut open the roll of sausage and put it in the skillet, smash it up with a fork or spatula. Once you get part of the sausage smashed turn the skillet on medium to medium low and add some cooking oil, which ever type you prefer. (If the sausage is real greasy you don't have to add the oil until you get the sausage done.) You will ned to increase the heat under the sausage to get it done. Don't cook it 'til it's crispy. Add the oil then decrease heat add flour. You will have to use your judgement on the amount of flour. You will want the mixture to be creamy and a little thick, but not "pudding thick". Add salt and pepper as desired to the flour mixture. Slowly add regular milk and stir, decrease heat a little but continue to stir. Once it comes to a boil decrease heat, continue to stir. Remove from heat, pour into a glass bowl. Gravy will thicken quickly on the heat and in the skillet. Let stand a few minutes, then eat. Gravy will always thicken as it cools. You may add more milk or hot water to thin the gravy after it has sat.

Answer 5

Yummy sausage gravy!!! Here's how you make it. First, you fry your sausage in a frying pan until it is cooked. Then, scoop out the sausage into a container leaving all the drippings in the pan.
Next, you will need to whisk in milk and normally a few teaspoons of flour. The amount of flour will depend on how thick you want your gravy, and how much you want to make. Be sure to add the flour in small amounts while whisking to ensure you do not create any lumps. Let the gravy come to a simmer and it will be thickened all the way at that point. Enjoy!

Answer 6

I agree with the other answers but I don't remove my sausage. I believe in not using a lot of dishes. Just fry the sausage, add enough flour (3-4 Tbs), then when the flour has browned, slowly add your milk. Usually, depending on the amount of grease/sausage you have, about 2 cups of milk will do. It will thicken instantly so be sure to stir as you add the milk. Good Luck with your gravy.

Answer 7

you need a pound of sausage brown that then set it to the side after you drain it. put the grease back in the skillet then add some flour just a little at a time get it thick then start adding some milk until you get to the thickness that you want it then add your sausage and half a cup of sugar then stir it and you will have sausage gravy.

Answer 8

YUMMY!

Fry your sausage (the patty type or the sausage in a tube (chub) will work best, not the links).

Sqeeze the grease out with a spatula.

Remove the sausage from the pan, but leave the grease.

Add flour. (Estimate how much grease you have in the pan, and add the same amount of flour)

Whisk it until you get gravy.

Add some milk, pepper and hot sauce to taste and whisk.

Now get the biscuits!
