By Diana Rattray, About.com

This sawmill, or sausage gravy is made with milk or cream.

Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons fat (from cooking sausage)
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups milk, light cream, or half-and-half
  • salt and pepper
  • cooked crumbled sausage

Preparation:

After cooking the sausage, leave about 3 tablespoons of fat in the pan, with the sediment. Sift or sprinkle in about 3 tablespoons of flour (over medium heat), and stir until browned. Pour in a cup of milk, season with salt and pepper, and keep stirring until it's thickened. If too thick, add more milk.
Add a little extra sausage if the gravy will be served over biscuits

outstanding sausage gravyJuly 27, 2008By msgadget
"This recipe is so easy and so good. I cooked about 3/4 lb. sausage, draining off the grease as it cooked. When the sausage was done I put back the required amount of drippings and sprinkled the flour over the meat. I used half and half but thinned it with 1% milk (just to save a few calories- lol). I used a fair amount of pepper but just a little salt. My grandchildren and my husband were really impressed at the flavor. Bob Evans himself couldn't have done any better."
