This savory sausage gravy is a specialty amount country folds in our area. It's best served over fresh, hot biscuits. It makes a real "sticks to the ribs" dish that we always enjoy and carries a traditional flavor that can showcase locally produced sausage. —Mrs. J. N. Stine, Roanoke, Virginia

I made this for my husband because he loves biscuits and gravy. He said it reminded him of something you would order in a restaurant.

I too have never used another recipe. I made this the first time EVER when I got the 1st issue of TOH and it was such a hit with my entire family! I still get requests for this yummy meal. It's a really tummy warming dinner during the cold northern winters. I wouldn't even consider trying another recipe.

I too have been making this recipe since the magazine came out and never have even bothered trying another recipe. In fact I even prefer this homemade version better than any restaurant or frozen variety I've tried. So good, exactly as written, except I go ahead and add 1 small onion instead of just 2 Tablespoons. I have used the sage flavored sausage, but I do prefer regular sausage. I preheat the milk in the microwave for 2-3 minutes to speed up the cooking time too. You can have this made in the same amount of time it takes to pre-heat the oven and bake the biscuits.

I remember the first publication of this recipe so many years ago. I had made this for my family and they loved it. My boys were just little and I skipped putting the hot pepper sauce in the batch back then; used it as a condiment instead. I have since passed it on to others, tweaking to "our tastes at home". I use Jimmy Dean HOT sausage and if I am making a double batch, I will use 1 JD HOT & 1 JD Sage. I also add 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, for added flavor, as well as a thickener;no one here likes runny gravy!

I think I cooked mine a little too long, wasn't liquid enough. I also think the poultry seasoning was too much, but perhaps that's because there was no sage flavor in my sausage. Will try again at later date.

I am like the others, tried this when it came out in the premier issue. I've tried other recipes but keep coming back to this one. We think it's the best!

I have used this recipe since it was published in the Premier Issue of Taste of Home magazine which I still have! My daughter cut out the picture to use on her "Things I Love" board for a school project she did in 1996!
