FAQs
There are many types of ground sausage you can use. Often times your local grocer has a homemade ground sausage blend that is really good, I know ours does! You can also get unflavored ground sausage to season yourself or make your own sausage like many locals do with venison and pork mixture.
Of course! Country sausage gravy is more versatile than it gets credit for. Besides biscuits, you could use it for:
Breakfast potatoes — Spoon gravy over crispy skillet potatoes or hash browns.
Mashed potatoes — Basically a country-style sausage gravy version of mashed potato comfort food.
Breakfast casseroles — Layer sausage gravy with eggs, cheese, and potatoes for a hearty casserole.
Toast — Simple country gravy over thick-cut toast makes an easy breakfast.
Eggs – A hearty and high-protein option for breakfast.
