Notes

  • Gravy can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container up to 7 days, or in the freezer up to 1 month.
  • Prepared bulk sausage may already contain salt, in which case, you won’t need to add the optional ¼ teaspoon. Taste the gravy before adding any of the optional salt called for in the recipe to prevent the gravy from becoming too salty.
