Simple Sausage Gravy is perfect to serve over toast, biscuits, potatoes, and more! You’ll love this versatile and quick gravy!
Sausage gravy and homemade biscuits is one of those breakfasts generally reserved for really special occasions: Christmas morning, New Years Day, the third Saturday of the month. You know, really special occasions. We’re in love with this simple sausage gravy because of how easy it is to make, and how warm and soothing it is, especially on a crisp morning.
You have a lot of sausage options when it comes to sausage gravy, and we prefer ground sausage. Use country style ground sausage for a plain option, or flavor things up with something like maple and sage ground sausage or a spicy Italian ground sausage. Pick a flavor that sounds good to you. If you live in an area where you can only find sausage in casings, you can slice up your sausage and have large pieces, or depending on the sausage, you might be able to remove it from the casing to have ground sausage. There is really no wrong way to enjoy sausage gravy.
How Can I make my sausage gravy gluten free?
This recipe uses 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour as the thickening agent. You can also thicken sausage gravy using 2 tablespoons of cornstarch in place of the flour for a gluten free option.
What should I serve sausage gravy on?
Sausage gravy is most commonly served over biscuits. You can also serve it over toast or potatoes. It goes really well over hash browns or fried potatoes for a great grain-free option.
Make Ahead Instructions:
Sometimes waking up in the morning and making breakfast is the last thing a person wants to do. To make your morning go smoother, you can make this recipe the night before and then just heat it up in the morning without losing any of its flavor.

Sausage gravy can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for three to four days. Sausage gravy can also be frozen in airtight heavy-duty freezer bags for up to 1 month.

I have a dairy allergy, I use organic chicken broth. My soninlaw says it’s the
best, he has ever had!
Trader Joe’s sells a great milk alternative: Almond, Macademia, Cashew milk. I have used it and it’s good. I have a dairy allergy as well.
My mother made this for my brothers and sisters and I (8 kids!!) and called it “favorite gravy”! (She made it with hamburg) She made up names for lots of food we ate.
I want to use hamburger too. Did you add any extra seasoning?
Onions chopped fine and garlic and a dash of ground thyme
We did hamburger too and served over fried American potatoes with onion. Yum
I add a tablespoon or 2 of very strong coffee. I like the color that it gives the gravy and I like the subtle flavor it adds.
I use a little Worcestershire sauce on my gravy and actually mix the flour and milk together first and shake till no lumps then add to sausage and cook till thickened. So so good.
This is how I make it. It is the best served over hash browns my family says.
Very solid recipe. This was my first time to make home made gravy and it turned out great. I added Italian seasoning and sage, as well, for a more fuller taste.
I add sage to mine too, but this is the way I make my sausage gravy too.
