I own a bbq restaurant that serves breakfast. I make batches of gravy that start with 8 lbs of sausage and 2 sticks of butter to 7 cups of flour. I use 3 gallons of milk to yield over 4 gallons of gravy. Your techniques and methods are good. Thank you for the thyme tip
Wow! That's quite a vat of sausage gravy. The most I've ever made at once was 3 lbs. of sausage to fill my giant family-sized crockpot with the gravy for a brunch party. It was definitely a hit, with only a bit left in the bottom at the end. If you decide to add thyme into your gravy, I'd love to hear feedback if you get comments on it. Thank you so much for watching.
I hear so many say this is how my grandmother taught me. I never had that experience. Sure wish I had, I’m going to to try this, I’ve never had sausage gravy and biscuits. Yes going to try, never to old to learn, 82 LOL
Jimmy Dean Sage is #1 for sausage gravy along with Grands Cornbread biscuits , bake a mess of crispy crowns in the oven also to get covered in gravy , lg glass of ice cold 2% milk to wash down . This has been my go too for many yrs & its so tasty .
That sounds wonderful! Unfortunately I was diagnosed with diabetes this year, so this yummy sausage gravy will be a thing of the past for me. I'm glad I was able to make the video for our grandkids before that happened. Now they have it if they want to make their own. Did you ever put a big piece of cornbread down into a tall glass of cold milk with some salt and eat it with a spoon? My grandmother taught us that too, especially if we weren't feeling well as kids. It tasted so good.
@@Omas_Kitchen never dipped in milk but l love cornbread , mom & dad always used regular miracle maize mix as a kid & my go to was to slice it kinda thin & spread l can't believe its butter over it , but l did wash down with cold milk , good stuff & now at 62 if it isn't miracle maize it just isn't as good .
Hi! Welcome to my little channel. My grandfather and his family were German (from along the Rhine in Baden, Southern Germany) but they all came to America in the late 1800's. When we were living in Germany, for the second time, I was able to track down the family history for my Pop-Pop (Opa) at the Pfarramt in the little village his family came from. We loved living there and we were there when our eldest grandchild was born. That's when I became "Oma." I first created this channel so I can cook with the grandchildren since we live far from each other. I often get a message from the eldest after she has watched one of my videos. I love that.
@@56dh You're welcome! I hope you'll try it. Baden is so beautiful, especially in the spring when everything turns electric green and people put flower trays in their windows. We still have some good friends there. We miss it!
I’m from the south( Tennessee). Our mother always made homemade Sausage gravy and homemade Buttermilk biscuits every single weekend, mainly Saturday’s. With eggs and Sausage Pattie’s and bacon. It was always a great Saturday morning breakfast.
I never realized how easy it is to make really good sausage gravy!! No more powder packages for me! Your clear instructions are just what I needed, thank u so much!!
I agree!🙂Since breakfast sausage usually has both thyme & sage in it already, I'm really just elevating the thyme flavor (as well as a little extra sage) to bring the sausage flavor out into the gravy. I hope you'll like it! Thank you so much for watching.
Thank you for watching! I'm getting ready to post a chipped beef gravy video, with a couple of tricks to make it awesome.🙂 I'll put a link to it in the description of this video. I hope you'll watch and enjoy that one too.
Thank you so much! This was a family recipe I wanted to show our eldest granddaughter on the other side of the country, so I was going slow and showing each step carefully. Thank you watching!
Thank you! I make a similar ground beef gravy to go over stacks of toast. I learned that one from my grandmother too. She made it for my grandfather and he would have it between layers of a stack of 5 or 6 pieces of toast! lol! I do miss them.🙂
When I was in my 20's, I began using thyme in almost all my cooking or roasts and so on.. I think I coined a phrase back then; "I like to put a little thyme (time) in everything I cook" (because it takes time to cook everything).. I still say that phrase every time I grab the thyme at 64, Lol. It's got to be one of my favorite herbs, along with sage and basil.
That made me smile. Thank you. Yes, I use herbs a lot. I'm currently working on a shorts video that links back to my savory parmesan, walnut and rosemary shortbreads with warm cranberry apple relish video. I made that video before I had many subscribers, but it's an excellent holiday snack for company. The punch of rosemary flavor in those works perfectly. I'll be posting that one soon! Thank you for watching.
Hi Lorrie, thank you! Yes, I've been learning to make these videos since my first one called "making salsa" back in January. For that one, I was really nervous.😬 I'm using less music now that I'm doing voice-over instead of direct filming. I only really use it for chopping food scenes for the newer videos. Lightly caramelizing the sausage, to make the edges just a bit browned, gives the entire gravy a better flavor. I hope your hubby will like it.
Thank you so much for subscribing! It helps my channel grow. This is my most popular video so far but there's a bunch of other stuff loaded up for you to watch.🙂
Great job. Totally agree that another ingredient or two makes the gravy even better. I've never tried thyme but am going to. I've used poultry seasoning/sage and lately I've been using Cavender's Greek seasoning.
I really appreciate the tips and visual instructions as you make the sausage gravy. It's the first time I really understand how to make this wonderful breakfast.
You're gravy, looks delucious you're making me awful hungry watching you do this. Thank you so much for the way you prepare it. The way you explained it, I'm gonna try using thyme, I'm also gonna try the sage sausage. I can't believe that I have not tried this. But I might have when I was little. Thank you so much again. It looks really delicious.
I make this for breakfast many times. I was surprised to know thyme was the secret ingredient, gonna have to try it this coming weekend. i do like to toss in a splash of Worcestershire sauce just for some depth.
Excellent video and recipe, you’re a natural at this! One tiny correction: a roux is made with equal parts fat and flour whereas a béchamel is that same roux mixed with milk. So yes what you’re making is a béchamel not a roux.
Hi! The "roux" is the butter and flour mixture before adding in the milk. As you may have guessed, I'm not a professional chef... very definitely in the home cook category... so I discussed it the way my grandmother taught me. She called the fat and flour mixture a roux.
@@Omas_Kitchen fair enough. I’m also a self-taught home cook. I recently explored Cajun cooking and I did a deep dive into not just sauces from Louisiana but also the “five mother sauces” used by chef’s world wide: Bechamel Veloute Espagnole Tomato Sauce Hollandaise
Looks like pretty much our household recipe. The only difference is we don’t do time as much as you did but we add cayenne and Texas Pete. Yum Yum maybe breakfast tomorrow! Good job.
I'll bet it is strange to you! It's part of my childhood and a very popular dish in the southern United States too. I do hope you'll try it because it's wonderful on a chilly day. Use a good quality ground pork sausage and add some thyme in as it finishes caramelizing in your pan. My easy drop biscuits video is on here too and they are a good base for your gravy creation. If you make it, I'd love to hear your opinion!
Thank you! I've gotten better at making these videos since the first ones when I started this channel. I cut the videos down more and use less music these days.
Thanks for sharing your recipe its been a while since I made it and right after I get more milk intend to try your recipe. I couldn’t help but notice your pan I have one very similar that I’ve been using everyday since I got it from Ross more than 10 years ago. It’s 6 quarts, very heavy, 14” diameter, with 5” sides that slant inwards & down not as much as a wok but more than other pans. Food started sticking to to the bottom, I’ve searching over a year for a replacement that’s not over $100 without much luck. I’m sorry but if I may, can I ask you what pan you’re using then maybe I can ask “Santa” this Christmas for one. Your stove nice too I got that exact model back in 2017 or 18. I’m seriously thinking of taking the still new griddle it came with out of the box and finally using it. Thanks again for the recipe and you have a new subscriber.
Hi Michelle. Thank you so much! I've had that pan about 6 months now and it's still non-stick. I never put it in the dishwasher because the instructions said it could mess up the coating. I just hand wash with hot soapy water. I love how deep it is and I use it for lots of stuff now. It's a "Calphalon Select 1612" nonstick pan, 12" (30.4 cm). I just looked it up and it's around $50 at Target. Welcome to my channel and please have a look around at the other videos! I try to post at least one new video per week. Thank you for subscribing and let me know how the gravy comes out for you.
Hello! It's a "Calphalon Select 1612" nonstick pan, 12" (30.4 cm). It comes with a glass lid. I hand wash it with hot soapy water and never put it in the dishwasher.🙂
Yes, it's certainly more of a comfort food than a health food.😏 It's one of the reasons we only eat it occasionally and I use low-fat milk in mine. The flavor is still excellent, but it has a little less fat in it.
You can use any nonstick pan or seasoned iron skillet that will fit on your stove. I have not tried it, but if you can use it like a deep frying pan over heat, it will make gravy. Keep in mind, you will need medium-high heat to caramelize the sausage and to cook in the flour with the milk. I don't know if your dutch oven will allow that, but I assume medium-high heat is okay? I have made three sets of the gravy in my deep nonstick frying pan and then transferred each set into my crockpot, set to warm, for a large brunch party. I stir it occasionally and keep it covered between guests and it works well that way too. I hope it comes out well for you.
Yes, some of my old family recipes (mostly from my Grandmother and my Aunt Betty) don't have measurements either. I learned by watching them or asking questions. The answers were mostly "well, I put some in and try it to see if it needs more." 🙂 It was hard to translate some of their cake recipes into a written recipe for that reason.
I like the Jimmy Dean brand. I've used several of their flavors, including the plain, the extra sage and the spicy. It always gives a nice flavor to the gravy, especially when I cook it to the stage where it gets a bit brown and crispy on the edges. You'll want to make sure you're using a pork breakfast sausage even if you're using another brand. Also, make sure you cook your gravy to boiling as you add the milk in stages. You'll need to boil it a bit or the taste of the flour will cover all your flavors. I hope this helps!🙂
I like J.D. too... I've used store brands but, after pouring off the excess fat there's not much sausage left. Just my experience, but J.D.'s is less expensive in the end than cheaper 'store brands'....@@Omas_Kitchen
@@Dane-xo1zz They used to make a lower fat version of the JD sausage. I liked that one even though I added a bit of butter to the pan to make the roux. I thought the lower fat version had a better flavor to it. I haven't been able to find it since 2020 though. It's definitely a good brand.
Well I probably should have made some when I made this video. I can't make them now! I posted a new video explaining why... and big changes to my cooking channel. I hope you'll watch along.

Thank you! Caramelizing the sausage and adding the thyme makes a huge difference in the flavor of the gravy.
Great recipe and I really like your style. Easy , to the point, and no drawing it out.
Thank you! I'm getting better at my editing skills with these newer videos. They are shorter and contain less footage for each step.
I use chicken bullion instead of just salt. Got that tip from a man that owned a restaurant for years.
Looks like the gravey both my grandmothers made. Thanks for sharing.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I have really nice memories of making this with my grandmother.
OMG that sausage gravy over those biscuits looks absolutely 😋😘😛😘😝😘!
Thank you! It comes out so hearty and smooth. I hope you'll try it.

We often have orange slices and grapes with this dish. Even when we have it for a winter dinner! 🙂 Thank you for watching.

I also use Jimmy Dean but get the HOT sausage instead. I love the heat.
My hubby likes the spicy stuff too. Sometimes I sprinkle some red pepper flakes over his.
Thanks for sharing your recipe its been a while since I made it and right after I get more milk intend to try your recipe. I couldn’t help but notice your pan I have one very similar that I’ve been using everyday since I got it from Ross more than 10 years ago. It’s 6 quarts, very heavy, 14” diameter, with 5” sides that slant inwards & down not as much as a wok but more than other pans. Food started sticking to to the bottom, I’ve searching over a year for a replacement that’s not over $100 without much luck. I’m sorry but if I may, can I ask you what pan you’re using then maybe I can ask “Santa” this Christmas for one. Your stove nice too I got that exact model back in 2017 or 18. I’m seriously thinking of taking the still new griddle it came with out of the box and finally using it. Thanks again for the recipe and you have a new subscriber.
Hi Michelle. Thank you so much! I've had that pan about 6 months now and it's still non-stick. I never put it in the dishwasher because the instructions said it could mess up the coating. I just hand wash with hot soapy water. I love how deep it is and I use it for lots of stuff now. It's a "Calphalon Select 1612" nonstick pan, 12" (30.4 cm).

I have to add 1 more thing. There's one think I wish you would have done, Use a bigger plate. It looks that good.
lol! Oh yes, there are bigger plates around here, especially for my husband! We make a meal out of it.
Sage and thyme are to country gravy what chili powder and cumin are to a pot of chili!😋
Would love to know what is your non stick deep pan that you're using for the sausage gravy ?
Hello! It's a "Calphalon Select 1612" nonstick pan, 12" (30.4 cm). It comes with a glass lid. I hand wash it with hot soapy water and never put it in the dishwasher.🙂
Guess I need to try some Tyme in my gravy now. 👏
I add sage to my gravy
Herbs really help bring out the flavor of the sausage! Like you, I add a little sage too, even with all the thyme I put in there.
Now that's the way you add black pepper. But I really think you need to lubricate those biscuits with a lot of butter first.
"lubricate" lol🙂
My cholesterol levels just jumped..
Yes, it's certainly more of a comfort food than a health food.😏 It's one of the reasons we only eat it occasionally and I use low-fat milk in mine. The flavor is still excellent, but it has a little less fat in it.
I’ve made this for about 20 years. My family begs every weekend for it….
5:15 you can cook out too much milk by cooking it longer
Grandma smart. You can add but not take away salt is the biggie. It needs salt but don’t overdue I.
Put the sausage in partially frozen. Much easier.
I agree. I've done that and it works well! My flat edge wooden spoon does a good job too, it just takes a little longer.
Can you make the gravy in a dutch oven?
You can use any nonstick pan or seasoned iron skillet that will fit on your stove. I have not tried it, but if you can use it like a deep frying pan over heat, it will make gravy. Keep in mind, you will need medium-high heat to caramelize the sausage and to cook in the flour with the milk. I don't know if your dutch oven will allow that, but I assume medium-high heat is okay?

I stir it occasionally and keep it covered between guests and it works well that way too. I hope it comes out well for you.
Is there any way to make the gravy a brown color? The white colored gravy is not very tempting, I'd prefer a darker color. Thanks
Cook the roux a little longer for a darker color.
Roux is 1:1 to flour. But I go by feel. Never measure anything.
Yes, some of my old family recipes (mostly from my Grandmother and my Aunt Betty) don't have measurements either. I learned by watching them or asking questions. The answers were mostly "well, I put some in and try it to see if it needs more." 🙂 It was hard to translate some of their cake recipes into a written recipe for that reason.
Is there a preference of sausage?I used store brand and it had no flavor whatsoever.
I like the Jimmy Dean brand. I've used several of their flavors, including the plain, the extra sage and the spicy. It always gives a nice flavor to the gravy, especially when I cook it to the stage where it gets a bit brown and crispy on the edges. You'll want to make sure you're using a pork breakfast sausage even if you're using another brand. Also, make sure you cook your gravy to boiling as you add the milk in stages. You'll need to boil it a bit or the taste of the flour will cover all your flavors. I hope this helps!🙂
