Southern Homestyle Sausage Gravy

"This is my mother's recipe. She made this my whole life. It's wonderful. My daddy used to always say he ate it in the army but they use to call it something a little different. When I got a little older I found out it was called "sh.. on a shingle". I'm sure you've all heard of this before. Anyways it made me laugh, still does. I hope you enjoy this."

  1. I never have luck with southern gravy, but this time was the charm. My mom loves southern gravy, she gave me thumbs up on this one, and not every gravy fits the bell with her. I did add a bit more oil and used turkey sausage. I added a bit more flour and a little less milk (on accident). It came out fine. Thanks for the recipe.
     
  2. I made this for our dinner on 07/26/07 and I'm sorry it took so long for me to get around to rate it. Since we like alot of meat in our gravy,I used a 1/2 a pound of maple flavored sausage.I didn't have any bacon grease so I used the same amount of vegetable shortening and it worked out just fine.Served this with Recipe#161470 and Recipe#73033 and a couple of sliced strawberries as a garnish.All together it made a very good homestyle breakfast.This will be made again,thanks for posting."Keep Smiling :)"
     
  3. This is a simple and delicious way to enjoy one of my favorites. I grew up with southern cream gravy, sausage and biscuits. I followed the directions using vegetable oil in place of the bacon grease. I may have used a little less than the teaspoon of salt. Delicious and comforting breakfast.
     
  4. This turned out a wonderful gravy. I didn't have any bacon drippings so I threw a little butter in it. I had never tried sprinkling the flour over the sausage before and it was perfect. TY Krystal. BTW I had to double this to take to work for a breakfast meeting and I used my wok to make it in. Stirring is a LOT easier in a wok!
     
  5. This was the best sausage gravy I have had with the exception of when my mother and grandmothers made it! That is saying a lot! Last night my husband and I were in the store buying sausage to make sausage gravy and he said "hey, Bob Evans makes some, too. We should just get that" If looks could have killed! He said or you can cook I like your recipe! :)

I am a native oklahoman. I am a student at a university in my hometown. My absolute passion is to cook meals my family will enjoy. My biggest pet peeve is rude people. If I had a month off with no responsibilities, I think I would go to Jamaca and absorb the sun and just relax.
