Today, I am talking about how to make sausage gravy on the stove-top. We eat this gravy over my yummy, extra-large homemade biscuits. But if I didn’t have time to make them, I would happily open a few cans of biscuits. If you want to know how I make my biscuits, you can see my homemade biscuit recipe here.
Large Family Recipes
My pans of gravy start out very small, and then they grow as I add more to make them the right size for our large and growing family. Don’t forget – I am feeding a family of 9, with a hubby who stands 6’6, and 2 strapping teen boys. I wasn’t sure how far these 2 pans of gravy would stretch, and as it turns out, they were both gone by Saturday and I made them on Thursday night. These people can eat!
Okay, let’s get started on this Easy Sausage Skillet Gravy.
Easy Sausage Skillet Gravy
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. ground sausage
- flour
- milk
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Brown sausage in pan on stove-top.
- Drain any excess grease. (I left the small amount of grease in my pan for flavor.)
- Begin by adding 1/4 flour, and stir until the sausage is coated.
- Add 3 1/2 cups of milk, and stir.
- Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Continue adding flour (1/4 cup at a time), and milk (1 cup increments) until you have the gravy as thick as you like and the amount you want.
Notes
- I ended up using a total of 1 cup of flour and 9 cups of milk.
- Stir, stir, stir to get your gravy to the perfect consistency!
Now you see what I mean, don’t you? I began with such small amounts of flour and milk, only to have very full pans of gravy by the time I was done. This is true comfort food, and it’s so easy to make that I can’t complain.
Keep in mind that it takes some serious babysitting while it is cooking (and growing!), but that is just stirring and adding. And stirring and adding. Don’t plan to wash the dirty dishes while your gravy is cooking. It will require your full attention for the 10-15 minutes that it is growing.
This meal is perfect for those cold, windy days of winter. But it is perfectly suitable for anytime of year if you have a houseful of gravy lovers like I do! I hope you love it as much as we do. Be sure to tell me in the comments if you try it.

Hi, I have a KitchenAid stand mixer just like yours. I noticed on the biscuits video on YouTube you didn’t lock the bowl down. It locks into place so it doesn’t move around. These mixers can be dangerous if not used properly and I don’t want you or anyone else in your house to get hurt. Please read the instructions before you use your mixer again. This is not criticism, I’m just trying to help. BTW, I love your videos, both the cooking and shopping. I love to cook, maybe we could share recipes.
Thank you. I have read the directions and usually lock it in place. Just mom brain for that night. It all worked out fine in the end. I’ve had about 100 people tell me of my error so that will serve as a good reminder and I’m sure I’ll never make that mistake again, haha. And thanks for stopping by! xoxo
That looks wonderful!! Our brood will certainly love this version. Sausage gravy is a staple around here. Still working on the perfect biscuits:/ tried your link but wouldn’t come up, I’ll try later. Thanks so much
A tip you can freeze your biscuits before you cook them and them just cook them frozen afterwards. I make 2 or 3 batches at a time to avoid the mess and then it is also a quick meal when I need them
Yup, that is fun to do on a freezer cooking day. I won’t get to have another one of those for at least 6-weeks. We’re in a super busy season. 🙂 xoxo
I put this recipe on my monthly meal plan that I finished today before my monthly aldi trip!! I stayed under budget, so happy!!! 🙂
Glad I came across this again. I know what I am making next Sunday morning for my bunch 🙂 Thank JaMerrill.
That should read thanks*
Is the gravy freezeable?
Hi there just wondering do you do any videos on Fussy Eaters I love watching your videos and you’ve just inspired me me to do freezer meals and I’m a family of 7
