Tips for Good Country Gravy

A few simple things make all the difference:

Let the flour cook briefly in the sausage before adding milk. This prevents a raw flour taste.
Add milk slowly while stirring so the gravy stays smooth.
Adjust the thickness by adding a little more milk if needed.
Don’t forget to season well with salt & pepper.

Good gravy is simple, but it does need a little attention.
