Whole Hog Sausage Gravy

Some people love sausage gravy and others despise it! I wonder why that is? Could it be that they’ve never had GOOD sausage gravy?

Since I love sausage gravy, I once tried ordering it in a restaurant. I was served a disgusting sausage flavored white sauce. They try to spice it up, but it was tasteless. If this is what people think sausage gravy should taste like, no wonder they don’t like it!

If you are a sausage gravy lover, tolerate it, or grossed out by the thought of it, here is a recipe I would encourage you to try. There are a few secrets to this recipe though:

1. Only use the finest quality sausage available. I might be biased, but our organic seasoned pork sausage makes the best gravy.

2. Use high-quality full fat milk.

3. Use an unprocessed flour. We love Janie’s Mill Organic flours. For this recipe, we use their All-Purpose flour.
