Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use spicy breakfast sausage instead of mild?

Yes, you can use spicy breakfast sausage if you prefer a spicier flavor in your gravy.

Can I use a different type of flour, such as whole wheat flour?

While all-purpose flour is typically used for this recipe, you can experiment with different flours, but the texture and thickness of the gravy may vary.

Can I make this gravy ahead of time and reheat it later?

Yes, you can make the gravy ahead of time and reheat it before serving. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator and gently reheat on the stove, adding a little milk to adjust the consistency if needed.

Can I freeze the leftover gravy?
