This was so good! It was my first time making gravy and it turned out fantastic. My picky husband and kids made sure there was nothing left! So I made some tweaks. Before starting the gravy, I fried a diced onion in a little bit of oil until browned. I then added the butter and flour to the pot and followed directions from there. I used almond milk instead of cow's milk, and once it was boiling, I threw in some pre-chopped grilled chicken and mixed it all together. Let it sit for a few minutes to thicken, then ladled it over biscuits. This was such a hearty, delicious breakfast. The kids want it again tomorrow morning!

I just tried this recipe for breakfast and loved it! I was tired of my usual egg and toast, but didn't want a plain English muffin and then remembered seeing this recipe last night. I halved the recipe and added the sage/poultry seasoning and salt and pepper to taste and topped a toasted English muffin with about half the sauce. It definitely hit the spot. I never realized the seasoning I love so much in breakfast sausage is sage/poultry seasoning! I am saving the rest for my husband to try when he gets home from work. Thanks so much for sharing. Bravo!

My family and i LOVED this recipe! Was a little iffy about using the chicken seasoning at first but it flavored it quite nicely! First no sausage recipe I have tried and had it actually turn out. I used sausage links and added them to this gravy... Fantastic!!

This is the perfect gravy if you like regular biscuits and gravy, but are trying to go vegetarian. HOWEVER, I changed the recipe. I made it exactly as described here and didn't like it (had to throw it out). The way I made it next and to my liking was everything the same, EXCEPT - 1/4 tsp Pure Maple Syrup added to melted butter before adding flour, and 1/4 tsp poultry seasoning. The original called-for 1 teaspoon of poultry seasoning was WAY too much, so the reduced 1/4 teaspoon makes it just right. It tastes just like regular sausage gravy (I used to make mine with maple sausage).
