For those of you who’ve had the pleasure (not to mention privilege) of having a family member make their great country gravy for breakfast, lunch, or even dinner, this video recipe below might not be something you’re into. But, believe it or not, there are some of us who want to try our own hand at making this masterpiece for ourselves.

For generations, the use of country gravy to add appeal to your biscuits, add some stick-to-your-ribs to your meal, and some more flavor to your plate has been a Texas tradition. Diners and homes alike have taken on the task of preparing a meal “like Mom used to make” for the many folks who have to be on the road for work, or simply love a home-cooked meal made by someone else! And every family or home (or even state) has different takes on it, but in general, it’s made the same. Calling itself the “Best Sausage Gravy Recipe,” the video seen here for Country Gravy was posted on the OldManCooking YouTube channel, featuring a number of completely delicious recipes and giving home cooks (and some professionals) small tips to help their dishes turn out better.
