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? I can make the Pioneer package mix in 2-1/2 minutes, Haven't made a batch from scratch anywhere near that fast ever. Boil 1-1/2 cups water in microwave, mix package with 1/2 cup cool water, combine, enjoy. No one said it was as good as scratch, but it is surprisingly good for package gravy.

That's some good eating right there, cast iron or not. Yep.....Like you said "nobody's saying it's better than home brewed cause it ain't" but sometimes I have better things to do or just don't have the gumption so it's an easy alternative. PS......the skillet and griddle are made by lodge and hardly vintage which the purists also turn their noses up at.

[I can make the Pioneer package mix in 2-1/2 minutes, Haven't made a batch from scratch anywhere near that fast ever. Yup quicker, might take me 4 or 5 minutes once the meat is browned. Can't say the extra few minutes ever worried me. Not to say I'm against the stuff, my cousin uses some brand that he gets cheap and it's not bad if you add pepper.

What is as good as homemade was not the question, because nothing is.
But what is the best other crap, if you've had it ? If you haven't ??
Homemade as fast as instant ?? No wonder some call it SOS. I have been offered package gravy, tried it, and realized it was crap. The powder kind is literally no faster than scratch. The canned stuff is inedible.

the reason i use the canned or package is, i precook my bacon, sausage, ham, biscuits, and potatoes at home for several days of breakfasts at the farm during deer season, keeps the smell of the clothes and gives my a little more sleep time

Otherwise, I've never made it any other way, but from scratch.

What Dad used to do sometimes is brown the meat, add flour and seasoning, let it toast and freeze half of that for another day.

So from a cast iron roasted tri-tip last night... To the left over all beef fat and seasonings pan gravy this morning. I think leaving the drippings and seasoning in the skillet all night in the cold oven did something magical.
