Can I Make Sausage Gravy The Night Before?
Allow the gravy to cool completely, then, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Reheat the gravy on the stove. It will thicken the longer it is on the heat. Add a little milk at a time to the consistency you prefer. This simple recipe is the perfect topping for your favorite biscuits to make a delicious breakfast.

This sounds like such an interesting gravy, and certainly very flavorful. I’ll have to give this a try sometime, and I like your suggestions with what to use this for!
This simple sausage gravy was perfect! So easy to make and delicious!
I made this with vegan sausages that I let cook right down in the pan first and it was so good!
This gravy was awesome and you’re right, how can we replicate grandma’s recipe? What secret do they have that we’re not privy to?? Added the bisquick slowly and stirred it constantly as suggested and that worked well and had no lumps. Keeping this recipe for next time!
This looks so tasty that I’m pulling some sausage out of the freezer right now so we can do breakfast for dinner tonight. My family is a huge fan of biscuits and gravy but for some reason we rarely ever have it at home. This looks so simple and delicious that I have a feeling we’ll be making it often.
