Gravy With Sausage or Hamburger

Recipe #99991 | 25 min | 5 min prep | add private note

This is just a quick and easy down home recipe that my Grandmother made quite often and there was never any leftovers :<( I put in the recipe to not use the HOT sausage because it turns the gravy red, but if you prefer hot go ahead it is great also. I just do not care for red gravy. I dont think that I know anyone who does not like this. We serve it over fresh hot biscuits or toast with home fries and slices of fresh tomatoes. Sometimes for supper and sometimes for breakfast. Its a southern thing!

Simple comfort food at its best right here! I made to pour over Shirley's Homemade Biscuits for a nice hearty meal that was enjoyed by all. I used the ground beef this time but will try the sausage sometime soon. Yummy and satisfying! Thank you!

    This is the way my hubby's great aunt taught me to make it. My husband and son love it. I never measure, but your amounts sound about right. I just add flour until all the grease is absorbed. If I am making sausage gravy, I serve it over Yeast Biscuits. But if I make hamburger gravy, I serve it over Oat Biscuits. Both ways are delicious!

    This is great - fit the bill especially since it's been snowing for an eternity and I needed something warm and comforting. Just like my mom used to make! It's important to add enough salt and pepper, otherwise this can taste really bland. Exactly what I was wanting.

    This gravy was very good-I used 1/4 pound Jimmy Deans hot sausage and 3/4 sage flavor-also used half and half and milk. Had a very good flavor. Thanks cj2 for sharing this!!
