Gravy With Sausage or Hamburger

This is just a quick and easy down home recipe that my Grandmother made quite often and there was never any leftovers :<( 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! Also one reviewer said it was kind of bland, so to give it more flavor be sure and brown the sausage really well and cook the flour for a few minutes as well. If you do not brown the sausage and flour it it will have a tendency to be bland.

    Great, easy gravy recipe. I have been looking for a good gravy recipe. This was perfect, even my husband who isn't much of a gravy fan thought it was good. I used whole milk and did add just a little cornstarch to get it to thicken a little. Thanks for posting!!

    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!!
