Fabulous !!!

Lily Lococo from Yellow Springs, OH

I absolutely LOVE sausage gravy, however, I love it on Pancakes, instead of biscuits.
Awesome Gravy

CHARLIE SWANGO from Dayton, OH

I have made this recipe at least 50 times in the past 2 years. Everyone of my family and friends DEMAND it for breakfast when they are here!
Not bad

Sharon Brown from Interlachen, FL

It wasn't that bad. I don't like onions in it. I also like to use some garlic powder, and steak seasoning in it.
Best ever gravy

Kristi Gaither from South Sioux City, NE

I used the gravy with homemade biscuits when my son wanted a brunch for his birthday meal. There was nothing left. We don't have to go out for biscuits and gravy any more!!!! Thanks Carnation

KENDRA KNIGHT from FOLLANSBEE, WV

This recipe was excellent. Very simple but good. My family loved it.
Better than my old recipe

Jeanne Forish from NEW BOSTON, MI

For homemade sausage gravy I will not use any other recipe - this one is the best. However, I still really like the packet gravies for getting just the right amount of seasoning and flavor that I find my family likes the best. Maybe next time I'll play with the seasoning a bit. Keep up the great work, though, your site has given me some of the best recipes I have. Thanks!

Sausage and gravey

Anna Jacobs from Dayton, OH

My husband loves sausage and gravey so I fixed your receipe and it was a hit! The carnation milk made all the difference. I use to use regular 2% milk but the flavor wasn't there. With the carnation milk the flavor is there. Thank You A,Jacobs

B. J. Decker from GROSSE POINTE WOODS, MI

I have been looking for a sausage biscuit & gravy recipe -- this was a big hit with my meeting-picnic. I backed off on the hot sauce just a touch, but my boys put more on their dish to add to gravy!! Thanks.

a. c. from AKRON, OH

I have made this three times now, and it is delicious! It is easy to make a half recipe, and I reduce the fat somewhat by using 2%fat Carnation Evaporated milk.
Extra Creamy Gravy

Amy Hanlon from

This recipes was good but, be prepared for some extremely rich creamy gravy. It was just a bit heavier then I'm use to.
Worth The Wait

kat treber from columbia city, OR

This was great for me, my husband's favorite breakfast. We just moved and I lost my mother-in-law's recipe. So I came straight here for a new one. He said that this should be my new recipe for Biscuits and Gravy! It took a few extra minutes to thicken up but was worth it. My husband loved it!

My family & I loved this recipe. It was so easy to make and had a great taste. I used lots of ground black pepper in place of the hot sauce and it turned out wonderful The gravy did look a little yellow and it curdled just a hair but it still tasted so delicious!
Rich and delicious!

Joyce Mosel from DUNCANSVILLE, PA

My husband loves sausage gravy, so I decided to try this recipe. It came out wonderful, so needless to say, I'll be making it again. The evaporated milk makes it rich, much better than the sausage gravy served in restaurants.

Living in the south sausage gravy is a very popular breakfast item. My husband loves it anyway, but when I used this recipe he said it was the best he's ever eaten.
Down-Home Sausage Gravy

Juanita Sturgill from JACKSON, OH

My kids have stopped asking for gravy from a fast food resturant since I found this recipe. I've been trying for years to make gravy, it always looked like paste or a clump, I haven't messed up yet with this recipe.
Great Sausage Gravy

Julann Callender from ABERDEEN, MS

I made this for my family and they just loved it. I had never tried this before and now it will be a regular at our house. I did take out the sausage while getting gravy ready to get lumps out.

patricia lake from CHESAPEAKE, OH

YUM! YUM! There are NEVER any leftovers when making this meal! The whole family loves it and it is so simple to make! I do like to drain a little of the grease off before adding flour, but only a little! Thanks for the good recipe!

Jennie Wilder from Worcester, VT

I remember this receipe from my mother but I could not find it thank you,my family loves it as much as I do.
Good Gravy

R Mallory from SAINT MARYS, OH

This was a very easy gravy to make, as always evoporated milk makes the best and smoothest gravy. I substituted cayenne pepper and a bit of sage and paprika for hot sauce. Also if you can buy fresh bulk sausage do,it makes it that much better.
A very good gravy.

joel tedder from FORT DODGE, IA

This was a very good and very creamy at that. I will make this gravy from now on for my biscuir, breads and family.

Down-Home Sausage Gravy

CAROL WILLIS from CLUTE, TX

We love sausage gravy and biscuits but can only eat it for special occasions since we are watching our weight and cholestrol. Instead of the hot pepper sauce I used a hot variety of fresh sausage.
