Sausage Gravy

This is the first recipe that I felt I needed to rate. I misplaced it and had to resort to another recipe....very disappointing. This is the best sausage gravy recipe ever. I have rave reviews when I make it....as a matter of fact, a few people only know me by this treat at work. This is definately 5 stars. No changes necessary!!
