It’s the one I turn to every time, and it’s so foolproof that even I, a self-proclaimed kitchen disaster, can make it perfectly. It’s quick and easy, which is why I wanted to share it with you.

Prep time: 20 minutes -
Cook time: 35 minutes -
Total time: 55 minutes
Ingredients
| One – 16 oz sausage roll (any flavor i.e. original, maple, hot or sage) | |
| One – 12 oz can of evaporated canned milk (or 12 oz milk) | |
| 1-2 | Cups water |
| 1/2 | Cup flour |
| Salt & Pepper to taste |
Utensils
- Dutch oven or soup pot
- spatula & wooden spoon
- Measuring cups
Steps of preparation
- Begin by frying sausage in the Dutch oven until pink is gone. Then drain if needed.
- Next add the flour and combine well.
- Then stir in the milk combining well. Add one cup of water and combine. (reserve another cup of water incase you want to thin the gravy more).
- Bring to boil over medium heat. Then reduce and simmer on low for about 30 minutes. Gravy will thicken as it simmers.
- Serve hot & ENJOY!
Notes
— This gravy thickens while simmering then further as it sits. (you may need to add extra water or milk to thin).
— This reheats well in both the microwave and stovetop.
— Store in an airtight container for up to 5-6 days.
— I probably would not recommend freezing.
