Biscuits & White Gravy
Grandma, can you please add white gravy with sausage to put over biscuits? I'm dying for that recipe. I had it when I was a young girl, but the person who fixed it for me passed away. I never did learn how to make it and have been wanting that recipe for a long time. Please help me out! Thank you so much.

Hi Terry!
I don’t happen to have an “official” recipe for Biscuits & Gravy, but I can tell you off the top of my head how to make it – it’s an old family favorite.
First make the biscuits – if you don’t have a favorite recipe, I’d suggest my Savory Breakfast Biscuits or Herb Buttermilk Biscuits, or just use the recipe on the Bisquick package.
While the biscuits are baking, make the white gravy (also called milk gravy): Cook 1 pound sausage meat in a large skillet until cooked through and crumbly (cook the sausage in some bacon grease or shortening if it is not fatty enough). Sprinkle with 1/4 cup flour and cook and stir for a couple minutes. Slowly add 3 to 4 cups milk while stirring. (The amount of milk depends on whether you want a thinner or thicker gravy.) Cook the gravy until thickened and smooth. Some people like to add Worcestershire sauce or hot sauce at the end for an extra jolt of flavor.
Then simply split the biscuits and pour the gravy on top – Yum!

Question
I have tried multiple ideas for beef and noodles, but they always taste the same to me. (Or I overdo it and it's simply horrible.) There must be a recipe that spruces up a family favorite. ... I am just looking for more flavor - not salty flavor, just more or different flavor. Can it be done? Is it possible to add flavor without losing the tried and true taste? Please advise.
And, thank you for all of your great recipes and ideas. My family loves when I bring home a new recipe from you. :)
