Sausage gravy... Who doesn't love sausage gravy? I mean, it's creamy, savory, and just a great way to start the day. Whenever I go somewhere for breakfast and see sausage gravy on the menu, I do a little happy dance in my chair. It isn't the easiest to find in New England, so I think it's worth a little chair dance.
There are no super secret tricks to this recipe and I think many will find that this is a pretty standard recipe for this southern classic. In fact, it's pretty close to the recipe I use when I make it at home. While this recipe is pretty much perfect as-is, some fun ways to dress it up include adding a bit of nutmeg or maple syrup, or switching out black pepper for something spicier. My secret recipe for sausage gravy includes adding a shot of rum...
Serve this on top of your favorite carb. Homestyle biscuits, potatoes, toast, or for those who really like a hearty meal, with omelettes or sliced ham.
