Easy Sausage Gravy Recipe

Fluffy biscuits and gravy breakfast is definitely a way to make the morning meal a special occasion. Add a slice of bacon or some scrambled eggs and you have a decant breakfast biscuit topped with gravy! We talked to some readers who felt that biscuits and gravy was too completed to make or too time consuming. Actually with a little planning and prep, it’s easier than you think.

Can You Freeze Sausage Gravy?

We’ve made the sausage gravy ahead of time, allowed it to cool completely and froze it. We’ll let it out to room temperature to thaw and then slowly heat it up when we’re ready to serve. The flavor and texture is just as good as when we made it fresh. Pre-making this sausage gravy makes the morning much easier cause there’s no cooking, just thawing and re-heating.

Re-heating Tips

Some thoughts on re-heating: The longer the sausage gravy cooks, the thicker it gets. When you pull the gravy out of the fridge it will be thick. If you have it on low simmer in the morning and it starts to get too thick before you serve, just add a little bit of milk or water to thin it out.

  • 1 pound (454 g) uncooked Sausage (bulk sausage or sausage removed from casing)
  • 1/4 cup (54 g) Butter or Olive Oil , divided
