It gives it a creamier, slightly tangy flavor. Also, maple sausage in gravy is good in my book. Not so much with the Pillsbury biscuits. I grew up on homemade, and nothing tastes the same to me.

I can't ever get it to thicken up like that and I've left it simmer for sometimes up to 30 minutes. It's always soupy, I've been making the brown gravy though by cooking the flour until brown before adding any milk. I've been using Bob Evans breakfast sausage and I don't think it has enough grease. Just this morning I used some butter to try to substitute the missing grease but it still comes out very soupy (simmered 25min). I've looked up tons of recipes and the typical is about 1lb sausage = 4 tbsp flour = 3-4 cups of milk. I've used 1lb sausage, 4 tbsp flour and only 2 cups of milk and just got a soupy sausage dense gravy. If you have any idea what I'm doing wrong I'd love to hear it! zX27z@hotmail.com email me some tips ! =) I’ve tried to make sausage gravy three times now.

Just sprinkle the flour on. And as far as hamburger gravy, are we the only family that ate "bread and gravy" for supper? Gawd how I loved that stuff. And the funny thing was, we ran cattle so we had plenty of food, but we were totally a "bread and gravy", spaghetti, or beans family.

Similar to the way I make mine, but a little different. Sometimes I will use the 'Grands' biscuits, sometimes Bisquick Cheddar & Garlic drop biscuits - good either way. I discovered Souther Quality Country Style sausage patties a while back and I use those as I have them handy and they are really tasty. I saute three sausage patties until they are golden and are nicely crisp on the outside. When they are done, put them on a paper towel to drain. Drain almost all of the grease but make sure all the bits stay in the pan. Deglaze the pan with 1 - 2 tablespoons of butter or margarine (Smart Balance in my case). Once the pan is deglazed, sprinkle in 1 - 2 tablespoons of flour - just like a roux. Don't let it brown though or you'll end up with dark gravy. Whisk well to make sure the lumps dissolve. A bit at at time, add milk until the gravy is at the right thickness. As the gravy cooks, mince the sausage patties. Salt & pepper to taste, add the sausage and let cook for a few minutes, alway whisking to make sure it doesn't burn. If you haven't made fresh biscuits (I usually make enough to last for two breakfasts), heat your biscuits. Break them up, cover with delicious sausage gravy and enjoy! Sometimes I will sprinkle with a little shredded cheese for variety. Looks delicious. Similar to the way I make mine, but a little different.
