Southern Country Gravy is a simple milk gravy made with sausage or bacon. Great on biscuits, country fried steak, grits, hash browns, etc.
Country Gravy with Sausage or Bacon is a delicious milk gravy made extra flavorful with sausage or bacon.
In honor of Mom's first birthday in heaven, I am refreshing this post for one of her favorite comfort foods: biscuits and gravy. She rarely made it at home because she hated making gravy. But, she definitely ordered it whenever it was on the menu when we went out to eat.
Ways to Use Country Gravy with Sausage
You can find Cousin Linda's biscuit recipe here. Or use your own favorite recipe or buy the refrigerator ones at the store. But, Linda's recipe is pretty awesome.
You could also use it with country fried steak or fried chicken. Or on some pancakes, waffles, hash browns or grits.
Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound sausage or bacon
- ¼ cup flour
- 3-4 cups milk
- pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Chop bacon or crumble sausage depending on which you are using. Cook in a large saucepan over medium. DO NOT pour off grease.
- Add flour gradually, stirring constantly. Cook for a minute or two.
- Gradually whisk in 3 cups of milk. Cook until gravy thickens. Add additional milk to thin as needed. Add pepper to taste.

Biscuits and gravy reminds me of my years living in Tx (north of Dallas) like almost nothing else except maybe Chicken Fried Steak with that same gravy!

My mom suggested Country Fried Steak, but I hate to fry. I only have it when someone else makes it.

Talk about food as comfort. This is it! My husband isn't a biscuit fan but I could eat a good biscuit with every meal and even better if it's biscuits and gravy! What a perfect tribute <3

A plate of your biscuits and gravy would be the perfect way to start the day. Especially if there's bacon in that gravy 🙂
Audrey
Mmmm, bacon!

Thank you for hosting! This is what I featured the week of 2-3 to 2-7 on my blog. On Tuesday was Addiction Chocolate Cake. It tastes like a giant Ding Dong. Wednesday I featured a Banana Chocolate Chip Cake worthy of replacing any loaf style Banana Bread. Thursday I featured Slice of Heaven Cake. If you like caramel and snickers candy bars you need to grab this recipe. And winding up Cake Week I posted How to Pipe Frosting. It is part of my Tip Friday Series.
