    This easy homemade sausage gravy is easy to throw together with just three ingredients and 15 minutes!

    It might seem a bit overwhelming to make homemade gravy, but it really doesn't have to be. Before long, you'll think there is nothing to it at and will be whipping up overnight French toast and a potato casserole to go with it- all for a perfect breakfast buffet.

    But first, before I explain how to make this amazing classic breakfast recipe, let me start by saying that once you've made sausage gravy from scratch, you will never (ever) want to go back to making 'sausage' gravy from a gravy mix. Ever.

    And I say that with love.

    Secondly, if you don't already have one, I highly recommend using a pre-seasoned cast iron pan when making sausage gravy. Once you use a pan like this, you will use it for almost everything.

    Sure, it takes a little bit longer to make -but the taste.  And the aroma.  I mean, seriously folks... I could live for days off the smell wafting through the air alone.

    I kid you not.

    It really is that good.  So good in fact that at this very moment--while I'm sitting at the airport eating a bowl of clam chowder (which is rather tasty, btw)--I'm still thinking about this sausage gravy. With Homemade Drop Biscuits. Or out of this world buttermilk biscuits if you have a little more time.

    How could I not?

      My dad used to make Sausage Gravy all the time. We'd eat it in biscuits. Thanks for sharing with us at the Merry Monday Link Party. Hope to see you again on Sunday night!

      Your sausage gravy looks killer. I try to stay away from it but my husband loves it. I have made my own sausage in the past and then made him the gravy. He could eat this every morning if I let him. I need to try your recipe. Pining.
      Thanks for sharing at Wake Up Wednesday,

      I was wondering if you can double the recipe? I’m cooking for several co-workers?
