Gravy - How do you make it?

[HairOfTheDog]

...........never use one that says "Tuna"

Good gravy, that's true. Tuna drippings on mashed potatoes might not work. Though, tuna pizza is much better than it sounds, so who knows?

Not so crazy about gravy on meat or potatoes. But sausage gravy on biscuits a few times a year is one of my favorite splurges.

This is a good easy sausage gravy recipe (Pillsbury buttermilk bake and serve biscuits work fine):

*1/2 pkg. breakfast sausage
*2 tbsp. real butter
*4 tbsp. flour
*4 cups whole milk (don't use reduced fat)
*1 ¹⁄₂ tsp. salt
*1 ¹⁄₂ tsp. pepper

-Cook sausage until done
-Add butter and flour
-Simmer for a few minutes on medium heat stirring frequently
-Add milk, salt and pepper. Simmer over medium-high heat stirring constantly until desired thickness
