My late husband was always asked to make his "special" gravy whenever we had company over night. I was lucky enough to learn how he made it before he passed away. It's just one of those gravies that never tastes the same no matter how many times you make it - BUT - its always good anyway it turns out..

    Add the 1 cup of milk or enough to cover the sausage. Cook on medium heat and as it starts to boil if it becomes too thick slowly add a little more milk to the consistency you like for a gravy. add salt pepper and cover. You don't want to leave it on the burner because it will get very thick ..
