Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Food, Cooking, and Game Preparation Packet or canned sausage gravy?

How many of you gravy snobs eat at fast food restaurants?

Be honest.

Hell....I bet they grind their own flour.


Mill their own grits even.....raise their own pigs and milk their own cows even.....

I must say that I am pleasantly amazed that there has been so much gentleness and kindness displayed in most of the responses. I am completely at a loss that it has not been stated with due fervor that even if such sacrilege is perpetrated, it must still be committed in a cast iron skillet.

Well, thats just a given.

I only use imported Grits......RRconductor sends me a care package from MO every now and then.

You bastid!

Rebel bastid, that's me!

I burn everything I cook in stainless or aluminum now.

I usually just make homemade, although I have used a packet once or twice. The other day I saw some canned in the store and tried it. Was not very good. So a few days later, I see a can of Campbell's in the store and bought one. Too chicken to try it due the bad experience with the last can.

This is what my mother made for me when I wanted a hot breakfast before school.

Instead of sausage gravy, it was EGG gravy. This is a batch I made for myself a while back,
Poured over the top of 3-4 slices of broken up toast. Properly seasoned with fresh cracked
black pepper.

ive used the walmart brand canned sausage gravy at deer camp, it's ok

I made an Egg Gravy/Creamed Eggs post recently.

My mom served it on toast too but now that I'm growed up and rich I use biscuits.

Never heard of such a thing.

Big James, I love your honesty.

Oh it's definitely a thing.


And BTW......for those that don't believe that I'm all growed up and rich

Here's proof that I only cook my organically produced Biscuits and Gravy on Vintage Cast Iron.

That's some good eating right there, cast iron or not.

I ain’t gonna turn my nose up to a package mix, but homemade is pretty quick and simple. And I enjoy making it.

Can’t say for sure I’ve had canned?

Made chicken fried steak over the weekend and some bacon gravy to go on top. T’was fabulous.

I make homemade gravy and I make homemade biscuits, but sometimes quick is good enough. Especially if your camp cooking.
And in that case I do use cast iron.

Quick is what mystifies me. Brown your sausage which you have to do anyway. Add enough flour to soak up the grease, give it a couple stirs to brown it. Add milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, a very little hot pepper flakes. Bring to a boil while stirring and eat. How much quicker can instant be?
