How To Make Bob Evan Sausage Gravy At Home

Step 1

Begin by sauteing chopped sausage in a pan over medium-high heat until browned. Make sure to brown the sausages properly, and don’t drain the drippings, as the fat adds a depth of flavor. Then add flour to the pan.

Step 2

Now, gradually pour the milk into the pan and cook the gravy until it begins to thicken. I recommend using a whisk at this point, as it does a good job.

Step 3

Further, season it with salt and black pepper. Stir it gently.

Step 4

Serve the gravy hot over biscuits.

Storing And Reheating This Recipe

Storing

Refrigerator: Sausage gravy can be stored in the refrigerator for up to four days. To do so, I allow it to come down to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container to ensure it retains its freshness. Finally, I place it in the coldest part of the refrigerator.
Freezer: Sausage gravy also freezes well for up to 3 months. However, its consistency changes a little upon de-freezing. Therefore, it is important to be warned of this. To freeze it, I always transfer it to a freezer-safe bag once it has cooled down. However, it should be noted that frozen gravy must be thawed in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.

Reheating

Stovetop: I prefer reheating sausage gravy in a saucepan. To do that, I transfer the desired amount into a saucepan, add a teaspoon of milk, and place it on medium-high heat for the gravy to heat. Moreover, to prevent the gravy from burning or sticking to the pan, I stir it every 1 minute and take it off the heat once it’s heated through.
Microwave: You can also reheat sausage gravy in the microwave by transferring the desired amount to a microwave-safe bowl. Add a teaspoon of milk to the gravy, stir, then reheat it at the highest heat setting, covered with a lid.

What To Serve With This Recipe

Sausage gravy is best served with biscuits, but there are many other delectable combinations that you should try. For example, it tastes good on toast, Hash Browns, Scrambled Eggs, and English Muffins.

For a more indulgent experience, I recommend trying it with Roast Potatoes, French Fries, or Pork Chops.
