Let the flour turn BROWN before adding another tablespoon (if you don't, your gravy will taste like flour)!.

I use sausage in a roll and sausage gravy mix!. When the sausage and gravy is done mix the two together and simmer about 15 minute to blend the two flavors together so good!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

we use bulk sausage or make patties ourselves!.

You can also fry a nice pork sirloin steak and use the drippings for a rich gravy!

Or fry some chicken and use drippings for gravy--old timers always had a huge breakfast and ate lighter as the day went on!.!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I buy the tube sausage from Jimmy Dean, a package of Martha White cream gravy and two packages of Grands biscuits!. All you need is milk for the gravy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can use either one!. Any breakfast sausage will work though! good luckWww@FoodAQ@Com
