Instructions
- Crumble the sausage into a frying pan over medium heat and cook until browned, stirring often.
- Remove the sausage from the frying pan with a slotted spoon and reserve the pan drippings. If you have less than 1/4 cup pan drippings, add vegetable oil to reach 1/4 cup.
- Heat the pan drippings and oil over medium-low heat. Gradually add the flour one tablespoon at a time and whisk. Stir constantly until the flour thickens and turns light brown.
- Slowly add water and stir.
- When the flour mixture is smooth, add milk, salt, and paprika. Stir until well blended.
- Add the sausage and simmer until heated through. Do not let the gravy come to a full boil because boiling will curdle the milk.
- Serve the sausage gravy with biscuits.
Notes
- The key to perfect sausage gravy is cooking the flour properly in the fat before adding liquids. This crucial step eliminates the raw flour taste and creates a smooth base. Unlike traditional recipes that use only milk, this version's combination of milk and water creates that signature Bob Evans pourable consistency that's never too thick or pasty.
