My Sausage gravy is a little bit different. I use a pound of sausage AND a half pound of bacon. I fry the bacon and crumple it up in the gravy when it is mostly done. MMMM

“You should tell someone what you know. There should be a history, so that men can learn from it.
He smiled. “Men do not learn from history. Each generation believes itself brighter than the last, each believes it can survive the mistakes of the older ones. Each discovers each old thing and they throw up their hands and say ‘See! Look what I have found! Look upon what I know!’ And each believes it is something new.

I use home made sausage either pork or venison. Mainly 22% fat, salt, garlic, ginger, marjoram and some smoked paprika.
My wife hates milk gravy. When the kids want some biscuits and gravy I use a packaged mix from the store. I don't eat carbs for breakfast and that is what they like best. Both my wife and I make chicken, and beef gravies, for the few times a year someone wants biscuits and gravy, this works.

Using that as the gravy base, it can be taken in a whole lot of directions. For the kids some morning, try chocolate gravy, just add cocoa powder after the roux is made and use milk for the liquid. It can be made as savory or sweet by adding a bit of sugar or honey to it to flavor. I made dill pickle gravy once on a bet. Diced dill pickles instead of sausage. Not something I would make again, but not a disaster.
Gravy is a great base to make any flavor your want. I could see an apple gravy using apple sauce or finely diced apples. Other fruits would work as well.
I could see mint gravy instead of mint jelly served with lamb. Gravy is great to tie different meal courses together or can by used as a contrast. Be adventurous and try something different. If it doesn't turn out, it's only a few cents in fat and flour.
