Time For My Personal Tips!

Tip 1: Browning the sausage well adds depth of flavor to the gravy.

Tip 2: Use whole milk for a richer texture.

Tip 3: Stir constantly when adding milk to prevent lumps.

Variations:

1. Herb-infused Gravy: Add chopped herbs like thyme or sage for added flavor.
2. Cheesy Sausage Gravy: Stir in shredded cheddar cheese at the end until melted.
3. Vegetarian Version: Use plant-based sausage crumbles and non-dairy milk for a vegan option.
